We went today and Dad had his 3rd chemo session. The bone scan came back negative, we were so thankful!! The oncologist said his cancer is a stage 4 since it is in his bladder and lymph nodes.
We meet with his surgeon next week to determine when his surgery will be. Dad is still on the fence about the Neo or bag. He is concerned he will not be able to cath the Neo and it sounds like a really complex surgery. His Dr. out of Miami Univ. does perfoem the Neo and said he would be a good candidate because he is only 55.
The oncologist said he has a very agressive cancer and they will most likely do chemo after his surgery, because the cancer tends to spread to a new area. We are staying positive and just trying to accept and move forward. I am hoping to get Dad on this site for the positive reinforcement and wonderful advice you all share. If anyone has had success with stage 4 please share so I can pass it on to Dad...God Bless
