Diagnosed October 21st after urologist received pathology report. To cauterised to grade. Month later, another scope and congratulations, you are the youngest patient my doctor diagnosed with aggressive muscle invasive bladder cancer. As I'm sure as everyone else on this forum, I was devastated. How can this be, I just turned 50. After this, I wanted a 2nd opinion. Got appointment at The James Center, started the process over again, and same outcome. Next step, ct scan and density test, then chemo. Got to tell you, I'm reading trying to prepare myself for the future, and I'm very nervous. Need to figure out how to tell my grandson and explain why his papaw will be losing his hair. That's the pain I'm dreading the most. Since I'm new to this site, my question may have been answered already, how do I explain this to him?
Thx
