Hi and thank you for this query.
Schistosomiasis increases the risk of having bladder cancer but doesn't mean you have got bladder cancer for sure. Please get consulted by a urologist and find out what is going on exactly. This will enable you know whether it has led to any bladder lesions or not before choosing an appropriate treatment plan for you.
If it were bladder cancer for sure, we would need a comprehensive evaluation with tests like CT scan of the pelvis, cystoscopy(look into the bladder with a magnifying light source), etc to evaluate the stage. Treatment options and cure rate depend on the stage. However, most persons with early disease often get a complete cure.
Hope you find this informative and helpful. If you have more questions, please keep them coming. I wish you well.

Dear Sir,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Schistosomiasis is certainly a risk factor for bladder cancer. Is your bladder cancer diagnosed and what is the stage of the cancer?
Bladder cancer, if diagnosed at an early stage has excellent cure rates. You should visit a urologist and discuss the various treatment options with him.
Hoping for the best. Please feel free to clarify any other query.
