Hello everyone,
My mom was recently diagnosed with BC. We have received the pathology, but have not yet spoke with her urologist (and if things continue how they have been, he won't call anytime soon with results- but that's another story).
The results state:
a)High grade papillary urotheial with invasion into the lamina propria. Negative for definitive invasion into musculaire. Negative lymphovascular space invasion.
b) Negative Malignancy
Now, in my research I have been doing tonight, I have come up with this being:
T1, High Grade BC. Is this right? Also for the b) portion of the pathology, I assume the negative malignancy is for a different biopsy than the a) results. Would you agree?
We are scared, and at a loss after this recent diagnosis, but I am remaining positive! I know that this is not the "best" end of the diagnostic spectrum, but it is certainly not the worst. We have already discussed a RC, and the benefits of that versus BCG for long term survival.
I have found a doctor for a second opinion in Chapel Hill (I believe I found it on here or another support website, recommending this physician), and she is schedule for January to see him.
Please give advice/opinions
