Has anyone not had any treatment after non-invasive tumor removed?
My urologist said it’s my choice. Either don’t do the 6 week treatment or not. and check bladder in 3 months. Has anyone else not taken treatment and faired well?

Thank you for your reply.
You understand my query correctly. My urologist did not indicate I was at high risk of reoccurrence. She simply stated she removed the entire tumor and that bladder cancer has a high risk of reoccurrence. Said it was my choice to have BCG treatment right away or wait. With plan to rescope for reoccurrence in 3 months.
I have not seen an oncologist so do not have a cancer team per se.
I did opt to start treatment and had first one last Wed. It was easy and the process was painless. We now understand BCG treatment includes a live bovine TB virus. My wife said she would let the doctor know if I started mooing.
Thank you.
I had the Surgeries....Tumor was Removed, Biopsy Surgery Showed with lab Test,..No Cancer....
I was Suppose to Start the 6 Week Program....I Turned it Down....
My Penis needs a Break, The Catheter thing is NOT GONNA WORK....
The Word here is "Preventive".....
I take a Seizure Pill as a "Preventive"
to Slow down a Possible Seizure, I can agree...."Preventive"..Treatment Once a Week for 6 Weeks is a Preventive Treatment....with Side Effects....
I've had Enough of My Penis as a Gateway for another 6 Weeks of "Preventive Treatment"...Not a Cure...
I WILL DO THE CHECK UPS WITH MY SURGEON,....Thats it.....These Preventive Treatsment are Your Typical Add on.....You go for an Oil Change and they want you to buy Windshield Wipers Also.....
Its another Business Add On....I can live Without that....If The Cancers Returns, I know the Signs and will Jump on it Quickly.....
I CANT DO THE CATHETER THING, AWAKE.... it was the Worst thing I have ever Experienced....😞
