Fred,
If you haven’t read Wendy's post regarding European guidelines for superfical bladder cancer, it is answers many of your questions Even though I am in America and not Europe, these guidelines fit my present protocol similarly.
blcwebcafe.org/cgi_bin/forum/nph-YaBB.pl?num=1138542311 Please do not panic and do not let anyone in medical or others involved in other type cancer treatment allow you to overreact and doubt. This forum and this website gives the best and most complete information on superficial non-invasive protocol and prognosis. My second urologist scared me something terrible about my low grade papillary to such an extent I demanded lots of extra tests, imaging, treatments. I now know he did me a disservice. Often times, low grade papillary cancer recurs but is still called a "nuisance" disease by those urologist that are very knowledgeable in the field. Other times, the grade increases and there is more treatment and/or tests. You and your doctor are just learning how your particular b/c will act.
