The CA-125 test is for ovarian cancer. My interpretation of the post was that came back positive for ovarian cancer and the doctor declared it aggressive.
The urolgist determined cancer from the cysto according to the private message you sent me. This is unusual as most of the time they wait for the actual pathology to make this determination. (responding to info from your private message). Some doctors will say this, but they really shouldn't until confirmed by tissue or cell examination.
At 90, the cognitive could be due to age, and when the stress of two cancers is added to that, it can certainly complicate matters. Advanced stages (metastasized) Bladder cancer can spread to the brain but it is way too early to make that determination. Once she has the TURB, they will know if it has gotten outside the bladder or if it has even gotten beyond the inner layer.
Let us know how the TURB goes and what they come back with. Please continue to post any questions you have. We will do our best to answer.
