I've just been diagnosed with a superficial bladder tumor. I don't smoke, use saccharin, work with rubber, etc... Is there anyone else out there who is under 35 with a history of these types of tumors?

Hi,
I have transitional cell carsonoma of the bladder. What kind of bladder cancer do you heve? I am a 51 year old female. Are you going to one of the major cancer clinic's? If not, I suggest you check one out. The three are the Mayo Clinic, Sloan Kettering, and M D Anderson. You can find them on the internet. It took me two weeks to get into the Mayo Clinic when I called in 2000.
I have had over 25 surgeries or procedures and two chemo's.

Hi over there,
I first started passing blood in my urine when I was just 30. It used to happen once or twice a year. Then a few years later the same thing happened again. I just dismissed it as something trivial until I started peeing blood clots continously when I was about 40. That's when I discovered it was bladder cancer. Did a TURBT to remove the tumour and followed by radiotherapy. I have already done 10 cystos since every half yearly and there is still no recurrence. I am 45 now. Dont worry. Bladder cancer is not a very aggressive form of cancer. God willing. You will also be cured of it.
