hi,
my dad will go in next week to have a "white fluffy thing" burned off that the doctor describes as not yet a tumor but something that is trying to do something or develop into something . it is in the same spot as his tumor that was removed last year. so it sounds like the very very begining of something. i know the doctor will be able to take care of it but my question is about re-turbs on reoccurances. my dad's tumor last year was T1 G2-3. the doctor automatically did a returb which came out clean. i understand the returb is basic protocol for T1. are returbs protocol w/reoccurance? i hope my dad can just have the procedure next week and go on to BCG without another procedure. he had no symptons of a new bladder tumor, just went in for his 3 month check. he does have some problems with his one kidney swelling up due to problems with his ureter having a problem draining (the spot he had a tumor at was at the opening to his one ureter). he had some back pain which was caused by his kidney swelling and will have a stent put in next week. thanks.
