Gabriel,
Hi. I guess my first question would be, do YOU trust the surgeon? Does he have a good reputation?
I personally never feel comfortable with any Uro taking a peek in the bladder and making a determination on cystoscopy alone. However, that being said, doctors seem to do this all the time.
It is two weeks until the end of the month. Does your father have an appointment on the books to get those tumors out of there?
Perhaps it should make you feel BETTER that the doctor does not feel urgency, but, I'm guessing that you and your father are most anxious to get this behind you.
The Doctor is recommending two TURB's? I've never heard of this, except that most Uro's nowadays WILL perform a SECOND TURB just to look for residual tumor...
Normally, I would say to get a second opinion, but that is kind of hard to do until you get biopsy results.
Personally, I guess I'm just not really comfortable with the wait. Not so much because of a chance of progression as much as with the attitude of the physician...
Let us know how it goes...
Rosemary
