Wow! Wish I was one of the patients they mention that was diagnosed but wound up not being CIS. :) Just think about going through treatment when you didn't even have it! YIKES.


For all you new folks....PLEASE pay attention to this stuff. It's REALLY, REALLY, REALLY important to get a 2nd opinion at a MAJOR BLADDER CANCER CENTER. They are the ones with the top pathologists as well.

Pat--

Thanks for posting. I subscribe to uro today so had already read that articles -- it is indeed quite eye-opening to have the need for second opinion so strongly confirmed.
