Mark,
My biggest frustration after the shock of hearing 'cancer' was that there was no rush or urgency in scheduling a CT and a IVP and TURBT. It seemed like no one cared that this was REALLY IMPORTANT. It turns out that it is OK - they do care, but unless someone drops the ball, the process chugs along at a (what now seems like an almost) proper speed.
Let me slow you down a bit. That is the advice none of us want to hear. We want full steam ahead to get the cancer out. But step one is the initial diagnosis, which may suggest additional tests or a repeat TURBT. The diagnosis IS happening, a treatment plan will follow; wait for them.
Remember, caught early, superficial bladder cancer is highly treatable. It is not treated instantly, it is a process that takes time. Use the time prior to the diagnosis to learn about your insurance plan - what is covered, if coverage is different for "in plan" and out of plan providers. Who do you call for information.
Your insurance card should have a number or website to call for information. Get the list of plan providers and coverage.
You can look ahead to the local NCI centers, and find their requirements and options for second opinions online or on the telephone. Again, requirements always seem to differ.

I hope this helps. Your job at the moment is to learn about bladder cancer, in case that actually turns out to be your diagnosis. Below is a website with LOTS of good general information as a starting point..

I hope this helps
