My dad has bladder cancer

[BPH]

He just got back from an appointment after having blood in his pee for a little while.

He doesn't recall whether or not it's in the muscle walls, but based on what he's told me, the doctor suggested treatments to extract the cells, which leads me to believe it's still highly treatable.

I wanted to see if anybody here has had cancer, or maybe has family who's had cancer, and recovered. I understand that doing a water fast and doing one's best to be in a positive mood (laughter, something to look forward to, fun activities) has proven to be very helpful.

Just seeing if anybody here knows anything.

I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully this was caught early enough so it's more treatable.

My understanding is that cancer is basically a parasite acting on an unhealthy body. Look up Dr. Eric Berg on youtube (here's one of his videos on cancer), in my experience he's well informed in other areas with health.

Damn bro...that's really unfortunate. Let's pray he'll get better soon.

Spend time with him, appreciate him and spoil him where you can. I wish him all the best and may God bless him with a fast recovery!

Sorry to hear. I lost my dad to cancer.

He did the traditional chimoterapy and radioterapy but that didnt cure him. It was already stage 3 or 4 by the time he caught it.

I had it young. Bladder. In my late 20's. Never even smoked or anything so the docs were very surprised. Just bad luck.
Had the tumour operated on and had a kind of chemo solution put inside me.
Had checkups for like 5 years in a row and so far it's come back all clear each time.
I don't know anything like as much as I should bearing in mind i'm the one who had it! I also forgot a lot of what I researched at the time.
But yes, whether it has gone through the muscular wall effects things a bit. But try not to panic too much yet (easier said that done!). Even if it's through the wall, there's things they can do depending on the stage

I know someone who's had bladder cancer / in remission
So yeah, totally treatable

Obv I don't press on details
But a nice lady will insert a tube in his d!ck and pump him with chemo
Expect some hair loss. Haven't noticed other symptoms, but maybe short-term fatigue?
Still has sex drive
