The symptoms that I experienced and the doctor visits that lead up to the detection of bladder cancer. This is the 1st in a series of videos that document my experience with bladder cancer and its treatment. • Cancer statistics taken from cancer.gov, late 2015: • http://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html... • In the Fall of 2015, at the age of 38, I was diagnosed with Stage 2, aggressive bladder cancer. These videos are a detailed account of my treatment and some of the helpful lessons that I learned along the way. The story is unfiltered; I don't avoid frightening, painful, or embarrassing topics. • My treatment consisted of four rounds of MVAC chemotherapy followed by a radical cystectomy and prostatectomy with an orthopedic neobladder urinary diversion. Thanks to many excellent doctors and nurses, countless unseen researchers, two extraordinary surgeons, and the support of my family and friends, Summer of 2017 marks my first year of remission. • My treatment spanned 36 weeks and is documented across several videos: • Week 01 Video 1 Symptoms • Week 03 Video 1 MedCeck consultation • Week 05 Video 1 Primary Care Physician consultation • Week 06 Video 1 Urologist consultation • Week 08 Video 1 CT scan/Cystoscopy • Week 09 Video 2 TURB biopsy • Week 11 Video 3 Biopsy Results (diagnosis) • Week 11 Video 3 Surgical consultation • Week 12 Video 3 Oncologist consultation • Week 13 Video 3 Chemo prep procedures • Week 13 Video 4 TURB resection/debulking and chemo port • Week 15 Video 5 Chemotherapy round 1 of 4 • Week 17 Video 6 Chemotherapy round 2 of 4 • Week 19 Video 6 Chemotherapy round 3 of 4 • Week 21 Video 6 Chemotherapy round 4 of 4 • Week 25 Video 7 Radical cystectomy and prostatectomy with neobladder • Week 27 Video 8 Post-op #1: Removed kidney stent and JP drain • Week 29 Video 8 Post-op #2: Removed foley and started urinating • Week 31 Video 8 Post-op #3: Removed SPT • Week 34 Video 8 Removed ureteral stent and chemo port • Week 35 Video 8 Returned to work
