(((((((sara))))))))) I'm so sorry the news wasn't what you had hoped to hear. I know it doesn't help to hear it could be worse because at this moment this is your worst. Just know I am here to listen anytime. Hang in there

:( I posted a week or so that I had been diagnosed with papillary transitional cell carcinoma, but that the uro wanted to go back and do more biopsies. That was done Monday and this afternoon he called with the results...CIS. I begin BCG on April 2 and they are scheduling a CT urogram. Been crying all afternoon. I know, as the uro said, this could be worse. But it feels awful right now. I am in shock.

Diagnosis 2-08 Small papillary TCC; CIS
