Is it the same as cauterization? My uro mentioned that he will shave it off and then cauterize. No bcg or myto. I will have turn next month.

MD Anderson has scheduled me for blue light cystoscopy. They have requested the specimen from July to redo the pathology. Bottom line, either the pathology was wrong or the previous surgeon left some behind. They feel with blue light cystoscopy they can get it all, if it is reconfirmed to be PUNLMP, no Mytomacin C nor BCG - they are that confident in blue light.

Getting myself to MD Anderson for second opinion... Hopefully should be seen next week. My urologist has me scheduled for surgery in 2 weeks, so not sure which way I will end up going.

I think that if you don't have to remove your bladder it is a better form of BC.
You can live for 20 years with low grade superficial BC. I am targeting this number. And I am fighting two cancers.

After all these years I didn't know there was a best form of bc.

But seriously, There is no difference here.....cancer is cancer and we want you to get well. As Sara Ann says, You are in the best place to get second opinions on bc. Follow their protocol and you will be like us.... living a normal life and giving hope to other "SCARED" cancer patients who need a shoulder.

Get Well, and keep us in the loop.

Yes, you have the "best" type of bladder cancer, if you have to have it. However,
you are fully entitled to scream and yell and curse all you want. We all have done it!! We are here to listen!
