Is this true? My 58 year dad Had bladder cancer and is on cemo. Is bladder cancer Bad?

Any kind of cancer can travel in the body, any kind of cancer is bad. Most kinds of cancer if left un treated or if caught too late will spread to other parts of the body. My father had colon cancer and it spread to his stomach and everything in his stomach before he had passed away.

It all depends one when the cancer was caught and how long your dad has had the cancer for.

Dr. Bacon or barfun your an idiot.

Do Not Believe what you hear from every doctor. Take what information they give you and do research on your own. Then come to conclusions. What they studied in med school is no different than what you find in a book store.

I am sorry but bladder cancer is bad but fixable. Good Luck.

If your dads doctor is saying this , then it is true.
This means that he has developed metastasis. or seedlings or daughter communities of cancer in the other parts of the body.
No it may still be controlled with the chemotherapy.

When cancer is first diagnosed a doctor will do two things . . stage the cancer and grade the tumor. What this means is that he will look at the cancer in the bladder to see if there is only one small tumor if only one is there than he might call it a STAGE 1. Stage 1 means that there is not much cancer there, but enough that he would need to have surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. The next Stage is 2. That means there is more than one tumor, maybe a different size, maybe two or dozens, but still a little small. The next Stage is 3. Stage 3 is serious because the tumor or tumors are now fairly large and may start to be growing through the wall of the bladder and going into other areas around the bladder. A stage 4 is very advanced. Stage 4 means that the large cancer tumor has begun to 'shed' smaller, microscopic cancer cells. These small cells are tiny enough to get into a persons blood stream or lymphatic system. The small cancer cells travel all around the body . . sometimes hundreds of them and find other places to lodge and begin to grow a 'bladder cancer tumor'. These cells can go into the liver and establish a secondary cancer spot. Or they can go into the bone. Or into the kidney. Or into the brain and set up new cancer tumors. This is called Metastatic cancer because it can travel.

The doctor will also look at the tumor cells under a microscope and determine if the cells are Low grade, Medium grade, or High grade. Low means that the cells look somewhat normal. Medium means they are starting to change rapidly. High means that the cancer cell is totally abnormal looking.

You need to ask your father what Stage his bladder cancer is now in. In general, the higher the stage the higher the grade of tumor.

There is treatment for all four stages of bladder cancer. Much will depend on how your father responds to treatment.
