Update: I have had some minor pain while urinating - this is a symptom of prostate cancer. Seeing that the bladder sits right on top of the bladder, this could be happening. Since my prostate will probably be removed during the radical cysectomy, I was advised to discuss this with the surgeon during my meeting with him on Jan. 9th. I also read a report from a CT Scan of my pelvis in July. In it, a growing "abnormal soft tissue" growth in the bladder was noted. The CT study also diagnosed Splenomegaly, which is symptomatic of cancer in the spleen.
Why wasn't anything done until now? I am really streesed.
