Although I’m female, I have gone the pathway of a radical cystectomy as well. I did have chemo and immunotherapy first. I just got my first CT and it was cancer free. I couldn’t tolerate the immunotherapy—diarrhea and hospitalization for electrolytes—otherwise I would still be on it.
I’ve just been reading about this DNA test that is widely used called ctDNA that the speaker compared to CT. I hadn’t heard of it before. I’ll ask the group. But Just wondering if you had heard of it?

@kfontaine1002
Has anyone in this group heard about this ctDNA blood test that is specific for urothelial cancer and can detect recurrence?
