bladder cancer and its symtoms

Hello,

My husband is 52 years old, and had a CT scan, and Ultrasound done and the doctors found a 9 millimeter mass in his bladder on both test. My husband is sick with headaches, no energy, very tierd all the time and is now having sharp pains in his bladder. The doctor is going to do a test called cystoscopy, but not for another 5 weeks cause the doctor went on vacation untill November 29, 2006, that is is next appointment and in the mean time want him to go and get certain blood test done and urine again and he needs to take 3 pills, 3 days before his appointment. What are these pills for? Do you know why he has to wait this long for. I think this is stupid, i guess its not their life. The doctor looked at my husband and said this is not very good, but makes him wait! The doctor is testing him for bladder cancer. Is there anymore symtoms to look for, for something like this. Also at this time last year he was told that he has fat in his liver and for a year or more he also has been nausiated but not throwing up and also has shingles because he is so stressed out and no doctor will give him anything. Please email me back at
