Hi, I am new to this forum. My mom was diagnosed with transitional cell bladder cancer a little over 6 months ago. Initially she had one tumor, mucosal layer only. The tumor was resected with no further treatment. When she went back for her 3 month re-check she had 2 new tumors, still superficial. Those were removed also and doctor still recommended no further treatment.

She went back today for her 3 month follow up and has multiple tumors in the bladder this time. She is scheduled to remove them and the doctor recommends mytomacin this time. She also has reduced kidney function (64%) and no one knows why or seems overly concerned.

I would like to get a 2nd opinion for treatment. Can anyone recommend someone near central IL, Chicago, St. Louis areas with a lot of experience? She currently sees Dr. Beck in Springfield, IL. Has anyone else had this aggressive regrowth of the non-invasive bladder cancer?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
Brandy
