Hello Janice, Chest xrays are common after an. RC. I get one every 6 months. I am told thats the first place your bladder cancer will go if there is any cancer left after surgery. How are you doing?

Hi Janice: That is pretty routine especially if your BC got to a point where you needed to have it removed. It's good preventive medical practice, and as was already pointed out, the lungs is one of the first places it would show up if it had metastasized. God willing you will never have to worry about that but if it does show up you can get on top of it quickly. You know how cancer is, like teenagers on skateboards, they are all over the place quickly.
