I also was diagnosed with invasive, agressive, type 3 in July, and had a cystectomy. Before surgery, I felt like I really needed a second opinion, just for my own peace of mind. Unfortunately, second doc, an oncologist, agreed with the urologist, so I had the operation in late August.
I agree with Sam, get a second opinion so you won't spend years wondering if you did the right thing. Tell the new doc what you want, they will try to get you in quickly for a consult. I am 57, and still can remember the apprehension I felt, but am doing well and was able to do light work and walking about 4 days after being home from the hospital. FYI, I have an external pouch, and the idea of sleeping 7+hrs. without waking is okay. Also, I play golf, bike, and am pretty active, and the external pouch has not slowed me down. The nerve sparing prostrate removal also went well. You are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this ordeal, but I have faith that you will emerge healthy. God Bless.
