    I am a 57 yar old man that was recently diagnosed with invasive bladder cancer and am presently undergoing a 9 week course of neoadjuncvant chemotherapy. I will need a radical cystectomy and construction of a neobladder to be scheduled about 3 weeks after I finsh my chemotherapy.
    I want to find the best surgeon to do the job.I would like to know the surgeons that are most experienced in this type of surgery and am willing to go anywhere to have it done. Joe

    JC…in Fla there is the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa..its a NCI designated center..only 2 there that really deal with bladder cancer…Dr. Wade Sexton, and Dr. Jorge Lockhart
    Probably the most well known uro/surgeon is down in Miami
    Dr. Mark Soloway
