Turning 44 this year.
Last 2 months i had bleeding and clots from pee-pee
Was told a kidney stone after a CT.
Well it continued, so had another CT (w/ contrast) and well......
no kidney stone, BUT a spot on bladder.
So yesterday had a csytoscopy done----IT HURTS!!!!
(like jabbing a ice pick up the pee-pee) They only numb it. so i was awake.
Finds out i have Bladder Cancer. No-so good news.
Waiting on when to operate/burn it and how bad it is. Something not looking forward to and doing every year.
Good thing i was persistent, hoping for the best.

Damn, wishing only the best of results going forward for you. Hope you caught it quick enough.

Chris, I've very sorry to hear that. But don't give up hope. Three years ago my dad was diagnosed with bladder cancer a week before his 88th birthday. Pretty much his entire inner bladder wall had cancer growing on it. They apparently scraped his bladder wall to remove the cancer. He turned 91 a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully they caught yours early enough so that they can do a less invasive treatment also. Good luck!!!!!!

They said it usually happens to people 60+ old and smoke.

Just a fat jolly guy that spends a lot of time on this forum. LOL!
