ParticipantWell I went for my three month cystoscopy last week . Dr said he seen two red spots . He said it was from the chemo mitomycin c I had instilled after my operation in November . My diagnosis in November was low grade stage ta non invasive . Anyone ever have anything like this . I just pray it’s not CIS . Please get back to me

Yes, I remember you: Under 45; quit smoking; single, primary, 2cm TaLG tumor.
I think you are letting the “negative ways” (Donald Sutherland, Kelly’s Heroes) cloud you.
First. Trust your Urologist. The Urologist is well trained and knows what CIS looks like.
Second. Around the time of the Cystoscopy, if the Urologist had any doubts either a biopsy would have been performed or a cytology would have been done. A cytology takes the fluid from your bladder and looks for cancer cells. High Grade disease such as CIS can be detected by cytology.
Third. As stated back in November, you are at LOW Risk. The chances of any progression 3 months after TURBT are in the fraction of 1000ths.
Finally. Yes, from what I have been told by my Uro, and read, Mitomycin C does irritate the Bladder and some people react more than others. That is one reason why The Ottawa Hospital (TOH) does not use it if there is a plan to administer BCG.Trust you Urologist.
It takes less energy to think positively than to fret and worry about negative things. You are in great shape!

P.S. Just to explain why I always recommend the Vitamins See “Guidelines” section at the end of the document and look for the 5th bullet from the bottom on this link:
