Hello Pat... Unfortunately the Pat you asked about doesn't frequent the forum any longer, and yes, she was an encyclopedia of doctor information. We all learned much from her.
I am copying a response from Sara Anne below (and she may chime in here later) that she posted yesterday for another member about Phoenix. The Dr. Lamm she mentions pretty much wrote the book on BCG and bladder cancer treatments.
"Another thing that you will see a lot of on this Forum is a recommendation that anyone facing such a serious diagnosis get a second opinion. An excellent urologist will welcome this (mine said that if it ever came to cystectomy...it hasn't... he would INSIST that I get one.) You are not far from several really good places in Phoenix. One is Dr. Donald Lamm at BCOncology, and the other would be Mayo Clinic there. The more information you "dig out" before making any decisions, such as type of diversion, the better you will be. The best result of a second opinion is that you will find out, as you suspect, that your current urologist is "right on" with recommendations and treatment options, as well as experience. And, if that isn't true, you would want to find out sooner rather than later." ~Sara Anne
