My mum was diagnosed with bladder cancer last year, after previously having it in her kidney and having that removed. She had the cancer removed and had a few bcg treatments. Recently she has been told that the results of biopsies show a 'nasty cancer' and they want to remove her bladder. I'm going with her to see her consultant tomorrow and if anyone could give me any ideas as to the questions I should ask I would be really grateful. My mum is thinking of not having the surgery as she's been told she would have five years without the surgery, or 10-15 years if she has it. She is understandably very frightened of the surgery but I don't want to lose my mum. Thanks for any advice.
