plasmacytoid Bladder Cancer - 1272461

Hi plandrover2,

I'm sorry your husband was diagnosed with this disease. It's true that when you look at many subjects with plasmacytoid bladder cancer there's worse overall survival rates than other types of bladder cancer. However those are groups of people some of which do well some don't, it doesn't mean that all people with pbc have bad outcomes.

Your husband is an individual person doing well several months out from diagnosis, that's the best sign that he's going to have the best of outcomes. Looking at large numbers of people are not the same as an individual. My husband is a perfect example. He had/has lung cancer the type and extent of which has a very poor prognosis. He has no evidence of disease today 6 1/2 years later.

I hope this helps soothe some nerves but I know how very difficult it is waiting for verification. In this type of case only time will tell. The waiting is really the hardest part, Tom Petty knew what he was talking about.

Best of luck,
Janine
