in Bladder Cancer #1
Breast cancer patient, I was told that my cell doesn't usually go to bladder, but could be a different cell.

Waiting for FISH test results. 10 urinary infections in 7 months, kidney stone, and hematuria that is sometimes quite visible in my urine.

Just worried. Thanks for any advice.

    It's the urologist's area of expertise.....
    Hi lizzie17:

    I was diagnosed in April of 2010 of bladder cancer and that was as a result of blood in urine and lots and lots of pain, which caused my primary doctor to refer me to a urologist. After having an ultra sound, MRI and CT Scan it was determined I had a mass in the bladder. Ultimately a cystoscopy determined the mass to be bladder cancer. The story goes on and on, but I was just trying to answer your question. Hope all works out well for you.

    I really like your avitar pic.....too cool. Looks like a place I'd like to be.

    C U and best wishes,
    Bill
