Hello, my husband finished chemo for bladder cancer (stage 2) and was told he need to have his bladder removed. He can t have radiation because of artificial hips. Apparantly it would not work because of the titanium in joins. Is that the only possible solution to have bladder removed even though his cymptoms of any cancer are no longer present. No bleeding at all.
Dear Ma'am, Sorry to hear about your husbands' problem. He is feeling better because of the chemotherapy (that is the reason why his symptoms have subsided) but it does not imply that the cancer has been completely treated. He would still require surgery because radiotherapy cannot be given to him. You can discuss the other options with your oncologist, but they might not be curative, and they include TURBO (transurethral resection of bladder tumor).
