Anyone else having cystoscopy for monitoring bladder cancer?

Posted by sien76 @sien76, Mar 14 8:22am

3 years ago was diagnosed with low grade bladder C and is now in the tri monthly follow up using cystoscopy. Occasionally new cysts observed are burned. Doctor doesn’t say if cancer still exist. Didn’t do immunotherapy so just monitoring.
Does anyone have this experience?

If bladder cancer is found quickly it is curable. If you don't mind my asking how did you know it was bladder cancer

Textbook case. Blood clots in urine, appointment with urologist, cystoscope. I don't consider myself cured. The cancer was aggressive and I should have lost my bladder. I call it a remission

Mine started with seeing blood in my urine. Told that to my Urologist at next regular prostate appointment. He did cystoscopy and saw the tumor(s). That started me down the road - now third surgery coming up.
