Wife DX with T2 Micropapillary Cancer…
-
Cycle 4 and CT Scan completed. Unfortunately the chemo was not effective. The tumor has continued to thicken. Will undergo another cycle of chemo in about a week to try to buy time until the bladder removal surgery can be coordinated.

Thanks for the responses.
Will get through Cycle 4 then Cystoscope/CT Scan and report back the updated staging.
Thanks again,
JamesF

JamesF,
You and your wife could not be at a better place.
It is important to be at a place like MDA that is on top of the latest information AND maintains their focus on the patient and family. More so with a high grade, less common variant.
It appears that your wife is being treated aggressively and without delay, which seems appropriate for her diagnosis.
Following the re-staging, you will likely receive a treatment recommendation vetted by the MDA tumor board. Again, a great group to have reviewing the options.
Absolutely the right track.
Best,
Jack

Welcome JamesF,
We are always sorry one has a need for this forum but, we journey together. I live in New Braunfels and can vouch for MD Anderson. They are my backup if another reason ever comes up again. I have had 4 or 5 friends/aquaintenances use MD and they are all happy with their treatment. With micropapillary tumors you are probably aware this is a rare type and very serious. You are in good hands. please post as needed as we all learn from each other.
DX 5/6/2008 TAG3 papillary tumor .5 CM in size. 2 TURBS followed by 6 instillations of BCG weekly with a second round of 6 after a 6 week wait.
