You need to wait for the biopsy and a chat with her own medical practitioner.

Two suggestions:
Go with her to her doctor visits if she will let you.
Learn all you can about bladder cancer from research online, in addition to what her doctor tells her.
Pain down her leg could be anything - something hitting a nerve possibly, rather than spreading cancer. Or just from sleeping a lot. And COPD can lead to fatigue if she isn't getting enough air in her lungs. And so on. We can't possibly know all that is going on with her and what is being done so far.
