Hey Alan,
Funny, just read your posting on the other topic and was going to befriend you... also can't figure out how to put my history at the bottom of my postings like you have. Went into "my profile" and "my profile edit," but can't see anywhere to put it.
I spasmed after the TURBT and it stopped the nest day after they removed the catheter. I'm on the third week, and still have the feeling my urethra is about to spasm right before I urinate. Am wondering how long this lasts...
How long ago were the other TURBTs you had and how long have you been without any more recurrences? Am hoping I can get through all 6 weekly BCG treatments without a problem. Re: my urologist, I wrote her today re: wondering if she'd misdiagnosed me Ta and if treatment would be different if it were T1 and she hasn't written back yet. It sounds to me like from what the pathologist wrote he wasn't that convinced re: the margins either. A little concerned and wondering if I should ask for a second opinion from another doctor. This doctor/surgeon is very young, don't know much about her. I'm seen at UCSF Urology through my insurance, and I have a feeling all the docs there probably concur with each other.
Re: your prognosis at the end of your posting, thanks, I hope to God you're right...
Doug
