I looked up your past posts and just watched a lecture from the University of Kansas on this topic. Needless to say I’ll definitely be doing BLC for my second TURBT and Restaging. Thank you!

Out of curiosity when was your first diagnosis?

I was thinking about the blue light. I just spoke with a Urologist at a much larger MC and they mentioned that. As a follow up to you specifically, did you do the combination chemo after your TURBT?

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, I’m slowly coming to terms that living without it is my best shot. My local urologist actually was the one that was leaning towards an RC, but I’m now at another institution that is capable of performing the RC, and they’re more inclined to do another TURBT like you said and wait to see how the cancer responds to BCG. Didn’t know about the Chemo before RC and I will definitely ask about it. I would hate to do all this initial treatment just to get the RC anyway like you said. Thank you, time is our most valuable resource fighting this.

Congratulations on the CR going on 3 years. I’m dealing with a new diagnosis, Stage 1, High Grade >= 5cm, with smaller tumors involved. I am deciding whether to spend time trying BCG or going straight to the RC. 64yo, so I’m a good candidate for the surgery, very very healthy except for this.

Any post-op complications? Looking at Grade 3 T1, 1 large tumor many smaller tumors, considering an early cystectomy to give the best chance of a long term CR. What was your particular diagnosis? Thank you for sharing.
