Sara Anne,
I got a second opinion appointment with the other urological firm in town. It's scheduled for the beginning of October. I can't get into Dr. Wilson, yet, or that is where I would be going.
I appreciate the insight, and even though I, personally, like the solution my current urologist is going for; that doesn't mean it will be the best solution for the cancer.
I went in and got copies of the surgical report and the pathology report today.
Pathology report was reviewed by a second pathologist in the pathology office, as I assume is common procedure.
Here's an excerpt from it, if you can give advice if you think my current urologists treatment solution seems right for this:
Final Diagnosis - Pathology Report
A "TUMOR" URINARY BLADDER (NOS) TRANSURETHAL RESECTION
-[PAPILLARY UROTHELIAL CARCINOMA, LOW-GRADE
-No invasion indentified
-Detrusor muscle present
Gross description:
-single formalin filled container
-multiple tan-brown fragments weighting 3 grams and measuring 2.5x2.4x.9 cm in aggregate.
