Hi. I'm Ray from Aventura FL. 61 year old male. I was diagnosed with High Grade Ta Papillary Urothelial Carcinoma (Non-Muscle Invasive) following my primary TURBT on Dec 8 which removed multifocal tumors one large (8cm). I spent one night in the hospital for observation after surgery. I had a catheter for a full week. I’m currently 3 weeks post-op, past the sloughing phase, feeling physically strong. Emotionally rebounding after having made it through recovery and a worry filled wait for the pathology.

My next steps include a 'Second Look' cystoscopy next week, followed by a 6-week induction course of Gemcitabine and Docetaxel intravesical therapy.

I am incredibly grateful for my urology team and relieved to have a clear roadmap for treatment. I'm also happy to have found this group! Thanks for sharing your journey and asking such great questions!
