Good for you! Keep the faith and maybe the spasms will go away quickly. I sure remember them,

I'm really glad to hear that the pathology report came out so well. Although this was a low grade and stage, you still need to be vigilant with checkups and talk to your urologist about additional treatment options when you have a recurrence such as this. My urologist recommended I undergo BCG treatment under similar circumstances. I was a bit hesitant since my tumors, like yours, were low grade and stage, but decided to do the treatment and have been all clear for 5 years now.

Small TA Grade 1, May-06; recur (2 tiny), same, June-08; TURBTs both times. BCG begun July-08, dosage to 1/3rd May-10, completed treatment December-11. All clear since 2008.

Had the polyp removed this past Tuesday. The pathology report came back as papillary non-invasive Stage 1. (Same as last time) I'm still going through the painful urination and the bladder spasms, which I must have blocked from memory the last time I had a polyp removed. I couldn't imagine having to go through this awake and without anything to numb the pain.

Thank you all. Based on your feedback, I had the courage to meet with the Doctor's nurse and insist on a twilight anesthesia and won!
