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.
