Diagnosis:
Papillary Urothelial Carcinoma ,High Grade
Lamina Propria invasion present
Muscularis propia present.
High-grade bladder cancer commonly recurs in the bladder and also has a strong tendency to invade the muscular wall of the bladder and spread to other parts of the body. High-grade bladder cancer is treated more aggressively than low-grade bladder cancer and is much more likely to result in death. Almost all deaths from bladder cancer are due to high-grade disease.
Muscle-invasive disease is much more likely to spread to other parts of the body and is generally treated by either removing the bladder or treating the bladder with radiation and chemotherapy. As noted above, high-grade cancers are much more likely to be muscle-invasive than low-grade cancers. Thus, muscle-invasive cancers are generally treated more aggressively than nonmuscle invasive cancers.
Not sure what the future holds but am proud of the effort I made to get the 2013 fixed. You do not know who and what I did to get the investigation started but the out come was good. I took a lot of static " That is the way it is" type stuff. Glad I never gave up and I will do my best to survive this.
I will know Thursday how much has spread and that will tell the story. A lot has to be removed and reconstructed if I am to live and probably chemo. Guys & gals make sure you see a Urologist as you get older as often as needed. You really do not want this to happen to you. I had a work up done in 2012 and was clean although they saw "atypical" cells but could find nothing. If that happens to you ( atypical cells are seen) go back yearly that extra 3 yrs might have made a big difference. :thumbup:
