That is my concern, he only did one round of BCG and I had a recurrence he said we will just wait for my three month cystoscope no additional BCG. Wonder if the reason is because of the shortage.

They say possible lamina propria invasion. Should not the pathology report answer this question? Some terminology is not familiar to me. Cattery artifact? Good thing is it's still non invasive. When do you see your uro for the next BCG treatment?

She was found to have large superficial transition Al cell carcinoma of bladder with possible lamina propria invasion. Tumor grade 2 No muscle invasion seen. Path report. Papillary urothelial carcinoma grade 2 out of 3. With marked cattery artifact. Can not rule out very focal invasion in sub epithelial connective tissue. Minute fragments of musculaturis prseent for carcinoma.

So I guess I was correct when meeting with the first TURBT that it might have gone into the lamna propria.

Still haven't heard back from Moffitt on second opinion.

So should be worried he didn't offer more bcg. After recurrence in October.
