Bladder Cancer... Has anyone gone through this??

[KaylaRose]

My father has been diagnosised with High Grade Invasive Bladder Cancer which has penitrated the muscle and spread to the Prostate. I know for sure that it has affected one of the Large Lymph Nodes in the surrounding area.
I'm not certain of the Stage at this time. The surgeon has said that it could be a high 2-3 or 4...
They did not do any radical surgery or cutting, as they did everything microscopic through his genitals. They removed part of the tumor from his bladder but were unable to get it all.
He has a stint attatched to the Kidney with a tube that runs to the Bladder which also has a stint attatched, this way he is able to urinate with ease.
The tumor inside the bladder is so large that it was blocking the flow of urine.
He is undergoing Radiation 5 days a week at 15 minutes a session.. he will have 30 treatments.
They do not recommend Chemo, as they feel he would not be able to withstand it's effects.
He is 88 years old and has been in perfect health.
