Rebecca, your options and your treatment path will depend on your pathology report. I know that you're probably thinking about the worst-case scenario right now, because that's what most of us do when we are first diagnosed. For me, waiting for the pathology results was the hardest part.
In my case, I was diagnosed with high-grade transitional cell carcinoma. I am fortunate because it was a large tumor, but it was superficial and did not penetrate below the lining of the bladder. I had my initial TURB, then a second TURB about six weeks later to get a deeper sample with muscle tissue. Immediately after the first TURB, the doctor put mitomycin in my bladder. My understanding is that the mitomycin is used to help prevent seeding of any cancer cells that might have been left behind when the tumor was removed. I also had all of my slides from both TURBs sent to Johns Hopkins for a second opinion.
Since my tumor was high-grade, my initial treatment path was six weekly treatments of BCG, which I completed on 10/01/15. I had my first cystoscope post the initial BCG treatments in early Dec '15 , and there was no evidence of disease (NED). I will go back for another cystoscope in early March, and most likely start my BCG maintenance treatment after that scope (if I get another NED). Maintenance treatment is usually three weekly BCG treatments every three months. As much as I dislike all of these scopes and treatments, they have all been very doable.
Some questions that will be answered by your pathology report are whether the tumor was invasive or non-invasive, and its grade (high-grade or low-grade). Once you have that information, there are some standardized treatment paths that most doctors follow.
Take care, keep us posted, and try (easier said than done) to relax.
