Hwg,

Sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis. Where are you located? Is your husband scheduled for chemo and cystectomy (bladder removal)?

As George mentioned, getting to the right surgeon is a VERY BIG DEAL in terms of outcomes.

You've come to the right place. People here have a lot of experience and knowledge (much of it first hand and even more from research that we've done).

You (and he) are NOT alone. We're here for you. Ask any questions you may have and we'll do our best to answer or at least point a direction.

It is perfectly normal to be scared. But you need to put that energy to work. Get a focus and start your research for the BEST Dr. for your husband. They may not necessarily be super convenient but seek them out. People on this site can help if you give us a general idea where you live.

Also, you need to get to the BEST cancer care hospital for Bladder cancer. Not prostrate cancer or testicular cancer...... Bladder cancer.

Your will need a Dr. who is more of an assembly line worker that an artiste. The assembly worker has seen it all and know how to do it with their eyes closed.

Patricia or Cynthia will weigh in with some help in this area.
