Hello everyone,
My dad was diagnosed with bc 3yrs ago, his first scraping they found 24 little tumors, 2nd 13 tumors, 3rd 6 tumors and 4th nothing....these were all diagnosed as superficial and he also went through the chemo directly to the bladder...I forgot what it is called :-?  Anyway he has just had another check up and he says everything was fine but it seems like he was just saying that because he didn't want us to worry, my question is how long is the life ecpectancy for superficial bc?  Everything I've read says that 85% live 5 yrs from the time of diagnosis, what do the other 15% do, live longer or die sooner?  I know it's just a statistic but is it legit?  He still hasn't been able to quit smoking... :-/
Any info much appriciated
Juwels. ;)

ps we also have a blood clotting disorder, does that have anything to do with this?
