in Bladder Cancer #1

My brother is in the hospital right now.  He went to the hospital because is foot and leg swell to double the size.  He has blood in his urine, and doctors feel it is bladder cancer.  Said there is a mass on bladder wall.  He just had a biopsy yesterday and has not got results back yet.  I am just wondering if anyone else has had swelling in legs or feet when diagnosed with bladder cancer and what was your outcome.  My brother works but has no insurance so he doesn't know what to do.

    Lymph Nodes

    The swelling us usually caused by the lymph nodes not functioning correctly. These nodes move the lymphatic fluid around the body as needed. Your brother's possible bladder cancer may possibly have spread to some of the many nodes in the pelvic region, which control fluid flow in the legs.

    neobladder or bag

    I'm 59 yr male...have malignant neoplasm of bladder....bladder cancer....had two TUR procedures....will have radical cystectomy in July....my only question is bag or neobladder procedure...surgeon says I'm an excellent candidate for either....in generally good health otherwise....am mobility challenged, walk with knee braces & cane, no stairs, bicycling, treadmills, etc.; otherwise am able to remain fairly active volunteering daily as director at a local community center. I know God is going to heal me and my concern is only with the daily experiences wiith bag vs bladder....any help would be greatly appreciated! God Bless!

    Cancer

    My cousin is having the problem of blood in the urine for about 10 days. He has gone for the diagnosis, and the doctor said that he is having kidney stones. But, now my cousin is getting pain in the legs and thighs, and they also get swollen sometimes. I am suspecting that he is having bladder cancer. Has anyone gone through the similar situation?
