My first cancer with Lynch Syndrome

I want to thank you both for encouraging me to get a 2nd opinion. I was able to meet with a top urologist at Sloan-Kettering who did a TURBT procedure on June 1st. I just heard from him regarding my pathology results from BOTH the TURBT biopsies as well as the original biopsies taken locally by my 1st urologist. I was told that my "bladder looked GREAT" - no evidence of any cancer -- he checked the muscle as well as the lining. Also the MSKCC pathologists found no evidence of Carcinoma in situ (Tis) and said I should NOT do BCG treatments at this time. Additionally they determined that I had a PUNLMP not a Ta tumor and told me that PUNLMPs are often misdiagnosed in regional labs because they often mimic Ta tumors. Needless to say I am quite relieved that my cancer is gone and was only low grade with low malignant potential. I am so glad I got such good advice from this forum! Thanks! Dawn

Thanks Sara Anne.

I just had my urologist schedule my BCG treatments to begin June 1st. I live in Connecticut and thought I'd go to Sloane Kettering for a 2nd opinion after my 6 weeks of BCG treatments. Do you think I should put off the treatment until I get a 2nd opinion?

Once I get an appointment with a urologist at MSKCC (which I've been told could take a week or two (if Im lucky) to possibly even a month) and then they first set up a biopsy, this would probably be sometime in June. This would mean I would be waiting another month before I could begin treatment if necessary.

My initial thought is that I would try to see a urologist there this summer (after my BCG treatments) and have them do the follow up biopsy. Do you think BCG would be bad to do before getting a 2nd opinion? As you can imagine my head is spinning here.
