Hi Breeze,
Sorry to come in so late, realise today you are seeing the specialists, but maybe with our difference in time zone you will get this before you leave for your appointment.
A T2 diagnosis means that the tumour has already invaded deeper into the layers of the bladder, and as Sara Anne has said bladder removal is so far the only safe option to take.I think the chemo you will have is to try and kill any stray cáncer cells which may have escaped into your system -individual cells cannot be seen on a petscan, so to be on the safe side the chemo is used as a preventative measure prior to surgery.Radiation is not usually advisable if it is posible that surgery will take place, as it can créate adverse effects such as healing problems after the surgery.
The type of chemo you will be given will be decided by your medical team, as they are the experts on knowing what Works best with which type of tumour, and with your body- chemo plans are worked out individually to suit each patient.
As regards any problems with a rise in temperatura ,your chemo nurses will adise on this - I am not sure what temp is considered dangerous, but they will tell you.- Because chemo temporarily affects your immune system, you may be more susceptible to infections, so that is why it is important to delay if you are developing a fever.
Please keep in touch with us and let us know how your appointment goes.There are many others on this site who have gone through exactly what is happening to you, and want to help with any questions or problems you come up against,
Diane
