Hello @hockeyfan60457. If you have to have a bladder cancer, best to be lo grade papillary UC. An early catch does bode well for a better treatment. Bladder cancer does like to recur, as you can imagine cancer cells floating around in the urine, attaching to the bladder wall wherever they want to. Frequent monitoring after treatment will help your medical team to stay on top of any new growths. Many people have success with treating their recurrences for years just by catching them early. And new treatments are showing up frequently. Don't hesitate to have a second opinion if you are not comfortable with your treatment plan.
