Bladder Cancer Prognosis

[Unregistered]

I just found out my Dad may have bladder cancer. They are doing more tests but the first ones point to a possibility of it. He was on Actos (diabetes drug) for 8-9 years. They have recently found a link between increased risk of cancer and this drug.

Does anyone have an idea about the prognosis? I hope this is early, if he has it. He's 71.

Why post this unfortunate news to an aviation board populated by pilots and people interested in aviating? Why not post to a health or medical forum?
And why post as an anonymous guest?
