I was just diagnosed with a 3cm bladder tumor it was cancerous it was resected and I went home with a catheter, the bladder was injected with a round of chemo my next appointment is October 23 at which time I hope the catheter comes out and I should find out what stage it was and what chances of reoccurrence there is. I’m thinking I should be getting a couple more chemo injections but won’t know for sure anyone else have information on this ?

Hello @annie72 , Welcome to Connect. Did you get more information from your appointment today? The histopath from the tumor will be very important in directing your further treatment. My husband had an aggressive muscle invasive tumor in a diverticulum/pouch off the bladder that was resected and bladder infused with Mitomycin. After chemo, BCG, immunotherapy, and several TURBTS for recurrences, he elected to have a radical cystectomy with neobladder. This began in 2019 and he is now clear of cancer but it has been quite a battle. Go into your appointments armed with questions about length of treatment, side effects, and possible complications. It is hard to know what to ask, but every question you have is important enough for your medical team to give you an answer. Keep us informed.
