University of Rochester medical Center
Has anyone heard or personally know if the University of Rochester medical center is a good place to transfer my care to? They are the only hospital near me (an hour away) that offers blue light. I am obviously willing to drive the hour for each appointment if I know the care is good. My urologist now seems good and has good reviews however he did not use the Mitomycin after my turbt and that concerned me. When I asked him why he said that all the doctors in the practice ( about 25) have stopped using it because it calcifies the bladder and can cause other problems. He said they use gemcitibine if and when they know they are dealing with cancer so I presume that would be after a second turbt, not after the first because they would need to see the pathology report. Has anyone heard of this? I would like to trust my surgeon because he comes highly recommended in my area but it seems alot of posts on this forum, docs are still using mitomycin. I have to question then, why not my urology practice? Also, they do not have access to blue light. I was diagnosed as TaG1 so am I jumping the gun to transfer care with a low grade diagnosis? Any insight is greatly appreciated! Thank you
