banxs no Dr can tell you how to keep cancer from spreading, they can only treat you what you have at the time. Dr Schoenberg is a great Dr and Hopkins is a great hospital. So you know I had a muscle invasive T2 G3 and I had the pre-chemo then the surgery. I chose to go to the Univ of Penn a great hospital in Phila and I had Dr. Malkowicz also a great surgeon. You are the patient so it is up to you to decide where you want to be treated. Hopkins is an excellent pick but for me I was born at Penn my father was a Veternarian up at Penn for 47 yrs so I knew this hospital well and as I said it is close to me and a very good hospital with a great reputation here. I went for the Neobladder but my surgeon bumped into probs not his fault things inside me he didn't think it was the right thing for me at the time. I have the Indiana Pouch which was my second choice no leakage what so ever and I am satisfied with it. As of today I am cancer free and my surgery was 6/20.
But banxs in order to treat this disease you are going to have to get different tests so the Dr knows how to treat you. You gotta hang in there and if you choose Hopkins then that is a good pick. Good Luck To You, Joe
