Bad news

Just finished the TURBT.  I'm told that the cancer was more extensive that expected. They got the large tumor out of the bladder but they are waiting on the pathology to determine the next steps.  They also will do more tests (CT scan, etc) to see if it has spread to the lymph nodes or elsewhere.  They don't yet know whether they'll have to remove the bladder or what other interventions are needed.  I'll be held overnight, then go home tomorrow.  Stay tuned for updates. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
