@iborg, whether to do treatment or not is always a hard choice. I hope you saw the various responses you got from several members living with bladder cancer.

So let me see if I completely understand your choice. You have already had surgery to remove the tumor. Pathology showed that the tumor was non-invasive, meaning it was early-stage bladder cancer confined to the bladder's inner lining (urothelium) and hadn't grown into the deeper muscle wall..

Now you are faced with choosing between chemotherapy in the bladder (intravesical chemotherapy) for 6 weeks or to monitor only. Do I have that right so far?

Intravesical chemotherapy (BCG) is typically used to treat cancers that are confined to the lining of the bladder but have a high risk of recurrence or progression to a higher stage. Did your cancer team mention that you are at high risk? Did they outline the pros and cons to treatment vs no further treatment at this time?
