Anyone have radiation treated bladder removed?

It took me six oncologists surgeons to get three appointment options. Two in JAX, FL and one in Germany. The Baptist MD Anderson surgery date would have been about 6 weeks after TURBT 2. The Mayo surgery date was a week after TURBT 2. I got lucky as the urologist surgeon had a colleague who had a cancellation and I was at the top of the list because of risk.

Other oncologists would not see me timely. I would have seen eight potentially.

So you need to hit up all the hospitals.

amu45sin here.
Thanks so much for you recommendations on 2 - 8 doctors.
I am trying to do the same, but don't know how or who pays.
I am on medicare and can only work with one medical/ health carrier in order to get medicare to pay.
Not to be nosy, but it sounds like you have financial resources to afford the services you are getting??
Credits to you for being so resourcefull!
