My Dad has just found out his bladder tumours have come back. He was first diagnosed September 2006 following an episode of haematuria. He had a cystoscopy to remove the tumours which were Transitional Cell Carcinomas. It was discovered in December 2006 they had come back. They were again removed. Now last week it was discovered they have again reoccurred. His urologist said it is nothing too much to worry about and more of a nuisance. He will again have them removed in the next few weeks. My question is, how often do these continue to reoccur? I hear the prognosis is reasonably good if caught early, but how long will he keep having to have this surgery? NB, the next time he has the surgery they are going to put a chemotherapy type solution in his bladder to try and stop it reoccuring. Does anyone know about this? Thanks in advance.Everyones stories so far are very positive. Thanks for sharing them! Best wishes to you and your families!

My own Dad had bladder cancer, it was multuple tumours and a couple embedded in the bladder wall. He ended up with a Stoma bag, and he saw his specialist last month and doesnt need to see him for 5 years now. Hes doing really well and looks great. Have a look at the link below, it helped me and my worries about him.God bless and hope all goes well.

My brother has bladder cancer. It came back a second time and they did chemo, and it never came back again. It's been along time since he was diagnosed.

I am sorry to read about your dad but I am sure he will get the best treatment. Sounds like they are trying hard to come up with new better ideas and I am sure that all will be well. Good luck
