50. I'm sorry to hear this. If you PM me, I can send you a recent scientific review article on the topic.

I personally know next to nothing about the topic and I am in no way a medical professional, but in this small way, perhaps I can be of service. The paper to which I refer is in the journal ACS Pharmacology Translational Science 2025 8, 2, 286-307 and is a review article entitled "A Comprehensive Review of Current Approaches in Bladder Cancer Treatment."

It may or may not be useful to you but I can share it.

I have not opened it and read it myself as of yet, but whenever a family member faces a health crisis this is how I approach it, checking out related scientific papers on the topic. I'm not a doctor but the process helps to demystify what we're being told.

Good luck.
