My father has just found out that he has bladder cancer (T2) and I am keen to get the treatment started quicker that it would be available on the NHS. I rough idea would be grately appreciated. Thank-you Chris ChrisF Fri, 21 Dec 2007 00:00:00 GMT  On 12/21/2007 ChrisF wrote:I was hoping that someone from the UK could give me an idea of how much it would cost to by-pass the NHS and pay privately for the removal of the bladder, privately.

Isn't there a way to get treatment sooner for jsuch a disaster disease?  We were given bcg to help the bladder fight the cancer.  IT  DIDN'T help us but if you are not at a stage 4 you might get some help with this until you can get to the medical service you need.  Best wishes to you and yours.rose Rose 123 Thu, 10 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT
