Question about early detection of bladder cancer?

My grandpa just went into the hospital and the doctors believe he has bladder cancer. We won’t get test results for another week, and I’m scared out of my mind.

He’s had frequent urination for as long as I can remember, but just found blood in his urine for the first time last week. He had surgery yesterday and the doctor found a marble-sized tumor.

Is this considered “early detection” or are his chances of survival low? Anyone who knows something about cancer, please help me understand this!
