Bladder Cancer Support Group
Bladder cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells in the bladder multiply without control. The greatest risk factor for bladder cancer is a genetic predisposition; it's also associated with smoking and occupational exposure to certain dyes (such as in textile factories), petrol and other chemicals.

My brother will have to have a urostomy, because the 2 rounds of the GBC or BGC didn't work. His tumor grew even larger than originally. I hear htat LDN works for BC and wondered if any one has experience with it.
This is a very aggressive form, words from the doctor, so why does he have to wait over 3 months with no therapy until his surgery?
I take this for my MS and swear by it, but of course his doctor won't even try it for him. So he has no therapy until his surgery in over 3 months. He is drinking like a fish, until he stumbles. He is still smoking over a pack a day but the doctor won't even try it.
I hate to say this, it hurts soo much watching this, but I suspect this will be my last Christmas with my brother.
Any respnses will be greatly appreciated, and I see I have to be patient here as this doesn't seem to be a very active forum. Thanks in advanve.

I would encourage you to call and talk to the doctor for answers and even a support group for you .From your post ,I am more concerned about you ...the one who feels powerless due to your brothers actions.
I am so sorry about your brother! And I agree, that you should definitely consult your brother`s doctor in order to get appropriate response regarding this long period of waiting. There must be a good explanation.
Take care!
