Dear Sally,
I sent you a few emails with a BUNCH with info and references, but I've been having trouble and my messages to AOL people get bounced back. I asked my husband to email them to you via his job.
SOmething that confuses me is that the newest staging and grading systems for blc divide T1 tumors into either low grade or high grade, and here you are with an intermediate grade. Now...if we could pin it down and get a definite LOW grade T1 diagnosis, and without CIS, you would have a much more easy ride regarding the stress of waiting between follow ups, and the risk would be much lower.
In my messages to you I copied references to a good article along with parts of webcafe, on the topics of second path reports, re-TUR for T1 tumors; staging; risk calculation.
I'm gonna have to work on this AOL problem, it's been going on for weeks now.
Wendy
