Just diagnosed in late January and I'm having surgery March 2nd. I'm scared more of the surgery than the cancer spreading. T2/HG. Wish me luck and I hope the best for all of you that I haven't met yet.

I’m overwhelmed! I thought everything was going well , 5 years into this cancer journey , now cancer has invaded into muscle tissue and my dr says the bladder must come out . I haven’t started chemo yet and I’m wondering if anyone on here has chosen the chemo / radiation route rather than removal ??? Sure appreciate any input , with many thanks and appreciation for everyone on this journey with me ❤️

I had RC in 2014 and never looked back. Unfortunately some people think that being bladderless means a total life change but in my case that certainly was not true. I am very active, work part time and volunteer for a few organizations, travel extensively etc and life is is pretty darned good. It is important to be comfortable with your decision and I was. I would never try to persuade anyone to have RC because it is a very personal decision. For me it was the best decision to get on with my life. I am always here to provide support for anyone who makes that decision but never interfere in the decision someone has made if it differs from mine. What works for some does not for others. My best to everyone. Linda ( moderator, author, bladdercancer.net team member)
