How long can you live with bladder cancer without treatment?

Hello, I just had TURB on Oct. 8 this year. I have yet to know what stage but it is inside the wall of the bladder. I go for a bone scan on 17th and then a pet scan at some point. Has anyone been told how long if you do not do chemo and radiation. My husband spent 5 days a week in chemo, my mother did chemo too. Not a good outcome for either. Immunotherapy may be an option but not if I have to suffer through it for months. I'm 65 and have had a good life. Would rather spend my time outside a doctor's office. Oncologist wants to take my bladder. I just don't think I can have a bag the rest of my life.

Last one was 7 weeks ago. 2 more tumors removed, scar tissue, and was able to get a piece of the muscle this time. Also instilled that chemo drug mytomycin. I go for CT scans a wk from Monday.
