Hi Anita

The most tumors I have had removed was 4.
Two of the tumors were benign.
That was in 2006, and I still have my bladder.
Since then I have had a TURB in 2007 and 2 tumors removed.
In all cases, the tumors were Non-invasive Superficial Stage 1.
I have had several BCG treatments and have been cancer free for 13 months.
My Urogolist has always told me, that its not the number of tumors, but the grade of tumors. As long as the tumors remain Superficial,(non-invasive) he will continue to save my bladder.
I wish Doug all the best.
Regards,
Jack

TA Grade 1

Doug Anita's Husaband known to us as DougG had a TURB on Friday that showed mutiple tumors. He is still in the hospital and they have an appointment for a second opinion at Vanderbuilt. She had posted this to the blog and I thought I would put it here so they would get more feedback.
