Mum diagnosed with TCC/UCC cancer in Kidney &mets

Hi Guys

Teresa - I am also sorry to hear that the tcc has gone to your bladder. I hope that the treatment goes well and you have good results!!

My mum had her kidney removed at the end of May and she is making a good recovery. The pathology came back as grade 2 tcc. She also had her bladder washed out a couple of weeks after the operation too. The Dr said that she is cured but there is a change it may come back to the bladder. Fingers crossed that she will be fine now.

Take care!!

Hi Catherine,

Hey James,

Any further word about your Mum? I am a new member here and just read over your posts. I was diagnosed with TCC in my right kidney last year. CT scan showed a very small lesion in my liver also, but it is a small cyst.

I had a radical laproscopic nephro-ureterectomy in May 2012. I'm doing well, but have since been diagnosed with (TCC) urothelial carcinoma in my bladder. I have just had my first 2 BCG treatments (4 more to go in this "induction phase").

I also am in my 50's. Diagnosed at age 55. Funny thing is, I just didn't see it coming. All my friends say I'm the most "health conscious" person they know. Even the first urologist I saw scratched his head and said that I just didn't fit the profile.

Anyway....interested to hear how your Mum is doing. I am praying for her.

Shalom,
Teresa
