Hi CLTYXX,
The only other option my URO gave me was a chemo/radiation combination therapy but I was told the cancer could come back. I would need to have an RC afterwards but the intestine they would need to use for an ileal conduit would be fried by the radiation. If I do opt for an RC I want to be able to go into OR with a clear conscience. I can't do that yet.
Best of luck with your second TURBT! I hope it presents the clarification that is needed in choosing the treatment that you feel is right for you. It's anxiety inducing, I know, and the waiting between the procedure and test results can be nerve wracking.
Good luck with your research! I agree this group is a great compass and anchor while navigating the turbulent seas of BC. None of us is alone in this fight with BC.
Take care and best wishes in your search!
