Hi,
On Dec. 27, 2023 I had my first TURBT done. My pathology report came back in my portal as: urothelial carcinoma high grade, muscle invasive bladder cancer. The next day I reached out to Mayo Clinic Rochester for a second opinion. Within a week I was at the Mayo clinic and the diagnosis was changed to "NON" muscle invasive bladder cancer.
First diagnosis meant removal of my bladder, second didn't. So 1.5 yrs later I am still sporting my bladder and it looks like I will keep it for a long time to come!
I've received immunotherapy & chemotherapy and my last scans showed NED. Yahoo!
I am so grateful for Dr. Shah and his team at the Mayo Clinic!
