Don,
I am from Mich, but have not lived there for 14 years. I live in west Texas - urologist here does not see much bladder cancer, but used to work in Houston so has some experience with it. Even with all the negative biopsies he is recommending a second opinion - since Dr. Lamm's office is in Phoenix, I am going to try there first, otherwise, my uro knows a doctor at MD Anderson. My last cysto was Nov 12 and my bladder looks the best that he has ever seen, but my uro took another bladder wash for a FISH and I have a CT scan scheduled next week (still have some unexplained flank pain - I have also had kidney stones), so I am waiting until all of these results come in before scheduling anything elsewhere.
I am a Mich State grad, hence the screen name, but I have not met with any uro in that part of the US.
Hope this helps. Ross
