Ok, They were very surprised to find path results come back that the muscle was clear, although they said they are extremly suspect that there may still be muscle involvment expecilly as it is in the ureta,
options given were
1. chemo & bcg. They said(the cancer could still progess whilst on chemo) & (it wont work if there is muscle involvement)
2. surgery rc ileal conduit or neo bladder
So dad has chosen to go ahead with surgery,(ileal conduit) which should take place in the next 2-4 weeks at a hospital thats about 3 hours from home.
So we are hoping that every thing goes well.
