Anyone out there with this type of cancer? Mine is stage four. Diagnosed in May and am in third cycle of cispaltin/gemzar chemo. Would love to chat with you.

    I have been dealing with carcinoma in situ with BCG treatment and that is completely different. But I didn't want to see your question just handing there without anyone saying anything. I hope you do find someone to talk to.
    Take care.

    Thanks, I understand it is pretty rare. My doc is even avoiding my questions. I sure don't feel like I'm on my way out too soon, but have so many questions!!! I'll hope for someone out there to respond!

    Yes i've experienced the same thing, but I found this wonderful e-book called Cancer: One disease, One Cause, the book is great. For only $47.00 I was cured of my cancer. All you have to do is read the book it will show you what foodsto eat and eliminate to eliminate your cancer. I hate spam much as you do, so don't overlook this really check this out because this will save your life.

    I had bladder removed Sept. 07 along with prostate & lymph nodes. Prior to that, lost kidney in Sept. 06, had chemo (gemzar and carboplatin. Cancer went to bladder and I had BCG which did not work for me hence the surgery. Now it has spread to the lung area (pleura). I will begin treatment again.

    I had adenocarcinoma in the bladder in 1989....but it was Stage 1 (T1N0M0). I had the bladder removed and an illeal-loop ursostomy ....works great...
    I did loose all kidney function in 1999 (from an unrelated cause).
    In 2002 a transplanted kidney was connected to the the 13 yr old urostomy and I have
    never had any urinary tract infections.
    In 2008, after reducing some of the anti-rejection drug dosages, my renal bloodwork
    showed the best results in 35 years

    My husband - he is 76 - was recently diagnosed with adenocarcinoma/bladder.  The path report stated "carcinoma, plasmacytoid/signet ring cell variant (high grade), invasive into the muscularis propria."  His surgeon used the term adenocarcinoma.

    His surgeon believes that he has removed the entire tumor; there is no evidence of metastasis. My husband will be scheduled for surgery to biopsy other parts of the bladder. But otherwise surveillance was what the surgeon offered.

    I see this topic was started years ago and hasn't had much action, but...  any information or words of wisdom will be appreciated.

    Update

    Was there any reoccurance after surgery? AND did he get Chemo afterwards?
