invasive bladder cancer

Thanks for all of your replys.

The urol I have is sending the biopys to another lab for 2nd opinion.
The the first one says it's a t3 stage 2 tumor at the neck of the bladder which he removed June 5. Also the lab thinks I have prostrate cancer to boot.
I'm 59 very active building stuff,fishing and play with the 5 grandkids.

I've been trying reading everything I find on this .
Thanks
Jeff

Jeff, from what I understand if you have a solitary lower grade T2 which is located on the upper part of the bladder then you are a candidate for partial bladder removal only Here was a study I ran across with good results.. i.e. 80% survival at 5 years.

May I ask what do you meen by that? Is it that bad? Don

Hey Jeff: Require no. Strongly recommended yes. We went through bladder removal in February. If living with a bag was our only struggle, we would have none.

Do all invasive bladder cancer require removal of the whole bladder?

Thanks

Jeff
