Hello. Haven't been here in awhile as I have been doing BCG and then the follow up TURBT on June 15 but I really need your help and thoughts. The doctors office called and said the biopsy showed 2 sites clear but one with CIS cells. The site of the CIS is at the top of my bladder which is a new site from the original tumor which was lower right side.
What do you think I can expect when I see the dr. tomorrow? Because cancerous cells are present does that mean BCG did not work? My original dx. was 2/18/10 of T1, G3. You all recommended I see a doctor with experience in BC and RC which I did and I have been happy with him so far BUT, in his practice he removes bladders. I don't want to be seen as another possible RC to him and not as a patient. What options have you heard of? Reading on line, I've found two main thoughts: as cancer has returned and CIS is high grade, a RC is recommended. The other option I've seen is that because the cells are in a new site and are CIS, a TURBT to remove them followed by more BCG.
What do you think?????? PLEASE RESPOND QUICKLY -DR. TOMORROW.
