anyone first with prostate cancer and then after 3 years gets probable prostate or bladder cancer?

Question

normal PSA but they still dont know if its from prostate bladder or urether.. help

the cancer is being considered primary cancer not secondary: not a metastasis

Answer 1

if this person had prostate cancer three years ago and was treated and now the doctors are suspecting it came back and is now in the bladder or urethera this is very common, it is known as metastasis (meaning the cancer has spread to this area) this is why people who have gone through cancer and had therapy must be rechecked on aregular basis. You cannot be diagnosed as cancer free until you have not had any forms of cancer for 7 years. from the time of no cancer being detected after treatment until the 7th year you are considered in remission meaning body has suppressed itself from developing more cancer. Remember cancer today is nolonger a death sentence as it was once known to be. Cancer is when a normal cell during multiplication and duplication process goes freaky and continues to multiply and duplicate in a rapid fashion,(basicly "Cells Gone Wild").

Answer 2

I would be interested in what type of treatment you had for your prostate cancer. If you possibly had radiation-then you probably have radiation cystitis. Having a normal PSA is in your favor-but doesn't mean it isn't prostate cancer. Also, have you been a long term smoker? Long term smokers get bladder cancer a great deal more than non smokers. Good luck with this-seems you need some time with your Urologist.
