Only you and your care team have enough information to answer the question.

If you are missing answers to any of the following questions, you and your care team needs to have the big discussion about your future. You have the right to know both short and long range plans your doctor is considering.

What does your doctor recommend ?
What does a second opinion suggest ?
Was chemo undertaken trying for a cure, or to reduce tumor load in advance of a planned removal ?

Best

I have muscle invasive bladder cancer. I have gone through chemo and my CT scans show that I am in remission.

I am interested to know if complete bladder removal is eminent in my situation!
