My husband was diagnosed in June ' 10 with urothelial transitional cell carcinoma stage four. He is in a clinical trial. Has anyone experenced this cancer and if so, how are you doing now.

I was diaGnosed 7 years ago with stage 4 tccc poorly differentiated with squamous metaplasia with multiple pulmonary lesions , I came close to dying but had a great response to chemo a regimen of carboplatinum gemzar and taxotere, next week gemzarer only, then a week off, 3 week cycles for 8 cycles. I had follow up biopsies at 8 months with a turp and transrectal prostate as the primary lesion was in the prostate then again at 16 and 24 months after diagnosis, all negative and have been well since and am working full time raising a family . I am still monitored yearly. I never had radical surgery or radiation, all my parts work. I'm now 48 , so the point is while the odds may be against you, and the docs are pessimistic, you never know. My main oncologist was Quinn at USC
