Hello I'm new here, is anyone in here dealing with invasive bladder cancer like myself? It hasn't spreaded but my initial urologist is thinking I'll be a cystectomy😔 but I'm in the process of seeing a cancer urologist praying for a different solution. My tumor size is currently 4.1 cm. And I'll have to admit I'm terrified, in disbelief and scared....

I dont have this type of cancer, but it's ok to be scared. Each time I go for my results, my blood pressure is thru the roof. But just hang in there and do what you know to do and let GOD do the rest.
