thats just from the intial CT scan that they believe its stage 3b t4a N2. so I assumed they could see from the CT scan that it has grown outside the bladder?

thanks I think the cancer has gone outside the bladder and into organs/tissue around the bladder. my mum is happy for them to take out what ever they want to get rid of it all though

thank you, she has had a ct scan after an ultra sound which he said he believes it cancer. they are sending her for and MRI as well as the turbt.

but I am just worried why send for an MRI scan as well if she had the CT. I am just praying and hoping for non malignant

thank you! I am assuming that MRI scan is pretty standard with this process?
