Metastatic Bladder Cancer

  Hello.
  My mane is Lorena Gale. My friend has bladder cancer. Her bladder was removed about 12-18 months ago. She had chemo and was diagnosed in remission.
  Now the doctors are saying they were wrong about the remmission and the cancer has metastisized to her lymphatic system and possibly her bowel and bones.
  They say that since the chemo didn't work the first time, there is no point in trying it again. She is obviously scared and all those who love her are extrmemly concerned.
  She will receive the final prognosis on tuesday and would like to arm her with as much information about treatments (both traditional and non traditional) for advanced metastisized bladder cancer.
  Can you help me?
  Thanking you in advance for you time and consideration
  Lorena Gale

Dear Lorena
Thanks for your question. This response may a bit late. It appears that your friend had a fairly aggressive bladder cancer that may have gone into the muscle of the bladder wall. Microscopically it might have even involved the fat around the bladder. That
