Bladder Cancer

[dcs171421]

I am interested in the elasped time when others first noticed the common symptoms of bladder cancer and had a cysto that found it and what stage/level it was at when first found. I first noted what I found out to be the common symptoms of bladder cancer about in the Oct-Dec period of last year. I just had a cysto on 6/24 and one tumor thought to be transitional was found. I am schelduled for surgery on 7/9. Since about 7-9 months elasped between first symptoms and the cysto, I am worried it may have progressed a pretty fair amount. I wasn't told the size of the tumor and forgot to ask. All I know is the stage and grade will be told to me when the pathologist report comes back after the surgery.
Thanks,
David
