Going for have 4cm bladder tumor removed on 4/8/25
I’m going in on Thursday the 8th to have a 4cm tumor removed from my bladder. On march 18th I started bleeding bright red with 2 or 3 giant clots. After cystoscope the urologist sent me to a top notch guy. I stopped bleeding clots and bright red about a week ago. Now it’s just the slightest pink. I’m seeing Dr Ghodoussipour. The doctors are very vague with their diagnosis but they say it’s treatable. My head is spinning folks. I read horror stories about bladder cancer. My GP said don’t worry about it but the urologists are not that convincing. Can you folks please just talk to me. I’d rather know what I’m facing instead of being surprised. Thank you…Jt
I am sure other community members will chime in here, but I just wanted to let you know as a cancer survivor myself that you are not alone! I know it can be scary when you are first diagnosed - people are throwing so much information at you and asking you to make decisions based on things you basically know nothing about. It is definitely anxiety-inducing, to say the least! Here are some articles that may help:

Overall, just know you are not alone, and we are here to help however we can. If that's just answering what questions we can, than that's fine too - we can't give you medical advice but we can certainly help to explain and provide information about what things are and what you may be able to expect! That, and we can certainly help with the whirlwind of emotions that you will experience - we've all been there ourselves and know what it's like! Let us know what happens! Keep on keepin' on, DPMThank you
