@dorothyb1153 Thank you.I am on the other side now, thankfully. TURBT was last Monday and oh my was that chemo instillation painful. I woke up half way through the 1 hour instillation period and wish that I would not have. Fortunately they did get all of the tumors out / high grade NMI, there were 3 - large, med + small. I will meet post op to find out treatment options. I also was able to order tumor sequencing, which should be available in about 3 weeks through a third party company called Signatera. I am cautiously optimistic. I inquired about leaving without a catherter and it was a complete non starter with the surgeon. It was in for 3 and half days - UGH.
