Anyone else having cystoscopy for monitoring bladder cancer?
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?

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.
