My partner has NMIBC. He has had over 48 tumors ablated over the past 3 years. Nothing seems to work for him. BCG caused TB, non of the other chemotherapy seems to make any difference. So discouraged.

Thanks for replying to my post. So sorry to learn of your partner's BC journey. While my UTUC hasn't spread to the bladder, I have read about BC. I imagine your partner's surveillance schedule is every 3 months. Yes, it's very discouraging to find repeat tumors. I have accepted ablation every 6 months is my new normal. I take solace in the fact that this most likely will not end my life (I read this on a distinguished panel's pod cast) and I am being treated at a teaching hospital, so figure I am helping to train the next generation of urologists. One of the residents advice to me was "go live your life." I look forward to your future post telling me no tumors were present on surveillance! I do think it's important to share our stories.
