Hospitals that provide Bladder Preservation & RC Procedures
Dear Forum Members,
Can anyone tell me which three US hospitals are the best ones for bladder preservation therapy?
Also, which three US hospitals are the best ones for radical cystectomy, specifically with bladder reconstruction (by surgically creating a neobladder) and nerve sparing?
I have done a search on Google about this, and called a half a dozen hospitals, but haven’t been given much information about their approach with treatment. Some hospital websites are helpful, but they are often times very general in nature. They all seem to want to book a new patient appointment immediately. I just want to know their approach and the treatments they offer at this point. Am I doing something wrong here?
I live in a rural area in California, so I will have to travel for further treatment if needed, and would like to know which hospitals offer which approaches/treatments.
I have been diagnosed with bladder cancer and will be going through the TURBT procedure next week. I will also be receiving intravesical chemotherapy with mytomiicm-C.
I am hoping for the best, but planning for the worst.
I have been reading everyones’ BC story on this forum. Thanks for your courage and support. I am empowered, and yet still somewhat afraid.
Regards, Lee
