Early Bladder Cancer Diagnosis & Feel Great
My 84 year old dad had not been feeling well, sickies, weak, coughing. Then, went to the hospital with lots of bleeding/clots and terrible pain almost two month ago. Had a cyso and TURBT in hospital and stayed about a week and a half to recover. Diagnosis of bladder cancer, high grade T2N1. Two urologists have explained as well as one radiologist. He says to each doctor “no one tells me what I have”. I’ve said to him gently that they have and does he not understand. Is this denial? He has a hard time comprehending the seriousness because there is no wound from surgery. He understands that he wasn’t cut open, but I don’t know what his thinking is. After the hospital he went straight to rehab. He feels great now (2 months later) and that’s making it hard for him to grasp that he’s sick. Anyone else experienced this?
