It is truly your choice on whether to go with treatment or let it run it's course. I am a 79 year old male who, 10 years ago, was first diagnosed with high grade, non invasive tumors. I have lost count of how many TRUBTs I've had in the last 10 years to remove recurring tumors; plus losing my right kidney, ureter and a small section of my bladder due to cancer. For me... It has been worth the fight! Prayers for your ultimate decision.

@pol7 Thanks Paul, and I'm glad to hear that you are doing well. It sounds like you made the right decision for you. However, the fact that you've "lost count" of the multiple TURBTs just confirms my decision not to spend the rest of my life undergoing treatment and surgery. (Although I do have other reasons.) All the best to you!
