Rebecca,
After having a quick return of cis after bcg and a clean checkup, I began wondering if it was a "return" or "missed" cis.
If it was missed cis, I wondered how accurate the biopsies taken at sites of visible cis and "random" sites really was. My biopsies were whiteulight, no blue/flourescent offered.
The following article may provide one answer to your question. It has made me cautious of attempting to retain my bladder too long unless results turn and stay positive. As always, this is ONE article, and offers one conclusion.

Upstaging of urothelial cancer at the time of radical cystectomy: factors associated with upstaging and its effect on outcome.

PS. I have been accused of reading too much.
