First tumor was superficial, I had it removed on Nov 2005 Dr said I don't need anything else just check up every 6 month. on Nov 2006 it's back and because I had moved to another city I went to another Dr who is my recent ones, he put me on 7 courses of BCG+ interfon A . then 6 BCG. I had it done by Sep 07 since then I am clear till last week my Dr found new one and he told me it's superficial . I didn't have any maintenance of BCG
my question is do I need mitomycin after TURBT ? any suggestion?

Suzi, that is a bummer. Assume you will be having a TURBT? What was your original diagnosis? Did you have BCG? I go in for my first 6 months check in February and am already started to get worried!!

Hi Suzi... So sorry to hear your news. Will keep you in my thoughts and hope for good results from your surgery. Coincidentally January 4th is the one year anniversary of finding out I had bladder cancer. I am hoping that 2011 is a better year than last, and I hope the same for you once you get this surgery behind you.

Best wishes... Catherine
