I had the same as you, found on Feb 8th, 06 , I had many turbs and cistos and treatments, even on second round went into remission if this is the rite way to say that, I was offered RC May of o6 and was going to it, But I wanted it done by laparoscopic da Vinci machine, Insurance turned it down, so I went for interferon/ bcg it worked for 9 months ;)I was free. then it came back. this last 3 month check, Stage T2, I am having RC on Fryday, yes insurance approved it this time, I will be making a journal and posting in some detail how it goes for me, doing it this way. If I add up all the turbs and the treatments just to delay the RC, It would have been better just to get it over with, but that water has passed under the bridge, in summer of 06. Although I am emotionally in a better position now. I am in my winter layoff from work so I have over 3 months to get back up to speed. To summarize these are very individual and personal dicitions, that we have to make. I wish that you have the best guidance from your doctors and from above. This a very tuff on the friends and family but they ultimate choice is yours. I need to say that one of my tumors that came back is rite by my left ureter so the position is dad for me, but this helps me know I must move forward. Every case is different of coarse, But you are in the rite place foe some guidance of the others have traveled before you. I wish you the best in whatever you go for.
