SC new Dx needs advice
Received from a lady that needs quick information.
My husband has a recent diagnosis of bladder cancer. The pathology report from the first biopsy shows 3 tissue samples. All 3 are high grade Two are invasive with “probable” into muscle wall. The 2nd doctor we went to see is in Charlotte, NC. He recommended a cystectomy. He did not feel it would be helpful to do another biospsy and delay the surgery for any length of time. Do we need to have another biopsy? Do we need to do this with some urgency?
