3 years into this. I had four large non-muscle invasive malignant tumors that were removed, then bcg, then numerous follow up procedures such as cystos, ct scans, biopsies, etc.
So far, no new tumors.
Several months ago I got an oncologtist in addition to my uro. According to my most recent procedures, my prostate and bladder biopsies said "benign, no malignancy." However, urine collected directly from a kidney said "abnormal."
My oncologist says everything looks good and he doesn't need to see me again unless I get another tumor. I asked what about my cytology that says "abnormal." He said, "Tissue is the issue" and he doesn't trust my cytologies or FISH.
My Uro is ordering a new FISH. I think he wants to go back up into the kidney to look around, a procedure that I did not tolerate well last time and I fear going through that again.
Any comments?
