I had chemo and radio therapy for stage 4 bladder cancer, after 6 months a ct said it went to stage 1. no blood/pain but now thickened bladder wall?

Here are some…: Congratulation for experiencing favorable response to chemo & radiotherapy for stage IV cancer. The bladder wall thickening with subsequent more urinary frequency is entirely expected. I'm sure your doctor will instruct you how to cope with it. Of note, despite favorable response, a lifelong follow-up it is still needed. For more individual detail, ask your urologist & oncologists. Best wish…
