@rone1701808, great to hear that after treatment there is no evidence of cancer.

I think that @predictable might have some experiences to share about overactive bladder and bladder cancer treatments. You might be interested in this related discussion:
- Is there a link between bladder cancer and over-active bladder?

In addition to physical exams, your follow-up care may include:
- cystoscopy and urine cytology to check for cancer (if your bladder isn’t removed as part of your cancer treatment)
- blood tests to check your overall health and how your kidneys are working
- CT urography, CT scan or ultrasound to check for cancer in the pelvis and abdomen x-ray or CT scan of the chest to check if the cancer has spread to the lungs

I'm bringing fellow members like @bruceb @sepdvm @drs460mayo @sue225 @mjklymasss, who can share more about followup testing to monitor for recurrence in their experience.

@rone1701808, when are you scheduled for follow up?

Thank you for your suggestions for follow up tests. I will get those done.

My next cystoscopy is scheduled for about 2 1/2 months
