  • second opinion before TURB ?

    Posted by mamatrausch on September 23, 2010 at 2:44 am

    I had cystoscope last week found 1 single 5cm tumor I am scheduled to have it removed on Monday and sent for pathology. Surgeon is going to put Mitomycin C in bladder after surgery I read in the forums to get second opinion and have an experienced surgeon. Is this for before the 1st Turb? My surgeon is young 3 years in practice but seems very knowledgeable and progressive but now Im worried I didnt ask how many surg he has performed… I live in northern Illinois lake county illinois thanks Julie

    mamatrauch, my tumor was 4cm and I had the surgery in 12/07 and I am doing fine at this time. I am going for my checkups every 6 months. You will do fine.

    i’m all for knowledgable and progressive but how MANY has he done..thats a big tumor.
    Best is at U. of Chicago…Dr Gary David Steinberg

    his bedside manner is great for some..others found him offputting……..but so what…he’s one of the best.
