non-invasive papillary carcinoma, grade 2 of 3
I am now 24, but was 23 when diagnosed. I had a lot of pelvic pain, but was dismissed by 5 doctors, mostly because I had just had a baby. And they all told me that the blood in my urine was just infection, common after childbirth. One even tried to tell me I had severe post-partum depression…no, I didn’t feel good for a reason!!! I finally ASKED for a sonogram, and sure enough, there was a tumor in my bladder. I have no history, no smoking, I’m young, healthy and not a coal miner!!! Anyone out there who can relate…please email me. I’m trying to find the other lady from Kansas that is 35…You’re the closest one to my age and area that I know of. The doctor I have, in Kansas City, says I am the youngest person he’s ever heard of, let alone seen, that has had a cancerous bladder tumor! So feel free to email me.
