Hi Glen
Sorry your daughter has been diagnosed with bladder cancer.
First I would advise her to get a copy of the patholgy report that will inidicate the type of non-muscle bladder cancer and if the tumor had reached the lining of the bladder. If it did then another turbt is usually scheduled to infact confirm there is no muscle invasion. If the tumor was just attached to the inside wall of the bladder then the normal treatment would be BCG. Yes bladder cancer does have a high recurrence rate and can progress when it is high grade. BCG is the gold treatment fpr non invasive high grade bladder cancer. We recommend that your doctor see a Urologist who deals with bladder cancer on a a daily basis.
I was treated with BCG after 2 small tumor recurrences and have been all clear for over 5 years.
If your daughter would like to speak to a female member of our group, we have many experienced gals that can relate their experiences to her. Just private message me and I can assist with setting this up for her.
All the best,
Jack
