Well thanks for that input. That certainly would be a lovely outcome but since I've already had the cancer once, seems like a possible return. The doc made this notation to me in her report: "It was interesting that your urine looked completely normal despite the recurrent lesion in your bladder." This sort of gives me hope...sort of. I also was negative for hematuria. I have a friend with the same exact outcome - 5 years ago, same size tumor, in the same place in bladder. She had her cysto in June - all clear!! Her doc (Mass Gen) said she could go without annual cystos going forward. She is not comfortable with that, nor would I be, so will continue.
We'll see what the new doc has to say come Sept 11th. Another cysto in order, naturally -then a surgery date will be set.
Thanks again for your thoughts.
