Bladder Cancer Survival

Question: prognosis for bladder cancer survival?

Answer: If it has NOT penetrated the bladder walls, it can be treated. There are several new methods since mine. If it has penetrated the walls, the bladder may have to be removed. Chemo next. Mine is gone, as well as prostate, since 2003. A "Stoma" is in order, and an external pouch is used. Survival is good to excellent, if it has not spread further. Your doc should have, or will explain all this. The entire Urostomy procedure involves about 6 1/2 hours of surgery. Hospital stay, about 12-14 days. Complete recovery about 2 months, depending on no complications or ones previous health. Not pleasant, but what surgery is?
