Hi Chris, and welcome. I had my first bout with BC at age 44. So far I still have my bladder after several turbs, tretment with BCG and with Valstar. Mine was CIS (Carcinoma In Situ), always high grade. Based on your path report the patholgist did fine muscle present in the tissue sample which is good. No mention was made of cancer in the muscle, also good. I think getting another TURB and further checking for any cancer that may have spread into the muscle is a good idea. iF NONE IS PRESENT THEN bcg IS SUGGESTED. i DON;T THINK vALSTAR IS AVAILABLE IN cANADA BUT IT IS A GOOD BACKUP SHOULD bcg NOT BE EFFECTIVE. vERY CLOSE FOLLOW UP IS RECOMMENED. gLAD YOU HAVE YOUR APPT. FOR THE NEXT turb. gOOD LUCK TO YOU
sORYY ABOUT THE CAPS AND SPELLING, i’M ALMOST TOTALLY ASLEEP, LIKE gREG.
