Surgery is often used to remove the tumor and may be followed by radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy.

Living with bladder cancer can be a difficult and stressful experience. Depending on the type and stage of bladder cancer a person has, they may need to undergo chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or surgery.

Chemotherapy and radiation therapy can help to reduce the size of a tumor, slow the growth of cancer cells, and shrink the tumor. Surgery can be used to remove cancerous cells or tumors. If the cancer is in an early stage, surgery may be used to completely remove the cancerous cells or tumors. In later stages, however, surgery may not be able to completely remove the cancer, and other treatments may be needed.

In terms of managing bladder cancer, regular check-ups with a doctor are important to monitor the progression of the cancer. Patients may also need to take medications to reduce pain and discomfort associated with the cancer. Other treatments may include bladder instillation and immunotherapy.

Living with bladder cancer can be a difficult experience, but there are many resources available to help patients manage their condition. Many organizations provide support services, such as counseling, emotional support, and educational resources. Additionally, finding a support group or talking to friends and family can help to make living with bladder cancer a bit easier.

Overall, living with bladder cancer can be difficult, but with the help of medical professionals and support groups, it is possible to manage the condition.
