Dam! Did you check the link I posted to you, a year ago, April?
http://www.bccancer.bc.ca/HPI/CancerManagementGuidelines/Genitourinary/Bladder/Diagnosis.htm

(Canadian cancer centres, in BC)
Clinico-pathologic Considerations

Transurethral Resection (TUR)

The pathology report should include the following information:

1. Presence or absence of tumour
2. Growth pattern, papillary or flat
3. Tumour Grade: low grade or high grade (note i, ii)
4. Invasion : lamina propria, submucosal, muscularis propria (note iii,
iv, v)
5. Invasion of lymphatics, vascular or perineural spaces
6. Extension in to prostate, either along ducts or as a result of
prostatic stromal infiltration
7. Presence or absence of urothelial carcinoma in-situ"

American webpage for Bladder Cancer Support
http://blcwebcafe.org/content/view/101/111/lang,english/
Some good questions to ask for those newly diagnosed with invasive bladder
cancer and considering cystectomy.
Pre Op Questions
Which technique would you recommend under ideal conditions*, how many
times have you done it?
If male, is removal of the prostate necessary? "

What did the pathology report say?
If it said adenocarcinoma, he probably should have had one or more
prostate biopsy rechecks and put on hormone treatment while deciding
whether he was agreeable to a TURP.

Get a copy of all 3 pathology reports and CT scan for bone.
This is fodder for a lawsuit but it's not impossible to have 2 different
cancers at the same time.
Get the facts before talking.
I'm sorry, Howie.
