Hi Guys,
Mary here. Had another TURBT last Thursday at Abington Hospital. Have an appointment with my urologist tomorrow afternoon.
Needless to say, I am quite anxious to hear what he has to say. I am in the process of making an appointment at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Phila. for a second opinion.
My doctor will give me whatever records I need and I will just ask a fresh set of eyes to review everything. I do not think my cancer is life-threatening, but I have been dealing with BCG for three years now, and still having recurrence.
I wrote to Dr. Lamm a few months ago and he suggested that too high a dose of BCG could actually suppress the immune system and allow malignancy to recur.
I will discuss this issue with my doc. He told me that he has attended several lectures by Dr. Lamm and that he calls him a strong doctor.
So, I'll let you know what I hear tomorrow, but for now, I am quite anxious.
Thanks for any input you can share that would make me feel better!!
