It was low grade noninvasive until kidney was removed.
Tissue report was it cleared margins. Thusly, the recommendation to an oncologist who got him started on Keytruda infusions.
Always something.

@vickipm I have a question if you don’t mind. How soon after the Jelmyto treatments did you find out it didn’t work, and how was it determined? Did tumors show up show up on a .CT scan? And was your husband presented with any other option besides kidney removal? I’ve been reading patients stories on SmartPatients and it seems that the cUTUC comes back with a vengeance (and more aggressive) after the Jelmyto sometimes and they lose their kidneys anyway. Sorry to bother you but I so appreciate your responses. You have certainly given me some useful information to help me write down questions for my upcoming appointment with the urology oncologist. Thank you.
