Hi Greg,
About the TURB issues, transuretheral resection of bladder, fulguration is pretty common to keep the resected tissue from bleeding. It doesn't ruin the specimen for pathology. So, your current plan of biopsy and fulguration sounds familiar to me, my sister had the same, she goes to Sloan, had a 3cm papillary tumor. She never received Mito, and most people with TaG1 tumors don't need it unless they continue to recur.
Your doctor is up on the latest guidelines but you still have the choice to not get the dose of mitomycin, see what the results are, see if you recur within the next year or two...my sister had the same grade and stage recur, never had any treatments aside from TUR, and they haven't recurred for thse past 7 yrs or so.
Lasered tumors will give you that situation where biopsies are wrecked, but that is reserved for people who have recurrent, low grade TA tumors that dont' need biopsies everytime they are removed.
Good luck, the fact it's so small and looks like an obvious papillary is a very good sign, all things being relative.
