Diagnosed with High-Grade Urothelial Cell Carcinoma - ANYONE?

Hello I was diagnosed with high grade bladder cancer almost a year ago. I had chemotherapy before I had a radical cystectomy. I had a rocky course and then ended up, unable to take immunotherapy due to side effects. I was in the hospital because of complications for one month after surgery those were not predictable. I am just now getting my feedback under me. I’m not able to take immunotherapy again so my treatment options for recurrence would be limited. Hope this helps.

@kfontaine1002 Hi, sorry to hear about complications after surgery and glad you are getting back. How were pathology reports from surgery? My husband had chemo prior to RC and his immunotherapy was canceled due to great path reports on bladder and surroundings.

@kfontaine1002 Hi, glad to hear you are getting back on your feet. My husband had chemo, ddMVAC 6 rounds prior to cystectomy with neobladder. After surgery they found no CA in the bladder and none in lymph nodes or prostrate .. They canceled the post surgery immunotherapy. Guidelines said he didn’t need it. He has been taking signatera blood tests and they have been consistently negative before and after cystectomy. He’s 4.5 months post op.
