Hi. My name is Steve. I was diagnosed with high-grade papillary urothelial cell carcinoma back in September this year. I’ve had two TURBT resections since then. The first one I also received Gemcitabine. I’m getting ready to start a clinical trial the end of this month. I’ll either be receiving BCG immunotherapy or Gemcitibine/Docetraxel chemotherapy. I’m still trying to process everything. I’m anxious to get things started but a bit overwhelmed with what’s ahead. I’m hoping to find answers to questions and support on the site. Thanks!

Good luck Steve. I’m 9 months out. Two turbt surgeries, 6 BCG and 3 more this past month. So far so good but this is a life long battle for many. You need to trust your urologist

I can imagine you're anxious to get started with treatment and overwhelmed at the same time. When is your first treatment?
