Small cell carcinoma of the bladder (SCCB): anyone else?

Had my TURBT Thursday, today is Saturday, sent me home with a catheter (hate those things) waiting for biopsy report. Scheduled for another CT scan. The doc said that he couldn’t get all of the tumor as it was too close to the ureter and he didn’t want to risk damaging it. Argh, that’s good and bad because now the tumor is still inside. Talking about doing radiation now ... argh. Already went through 4 cycles of chemo and was in remission (so I thought) for 28 days before I started peeing blood again and that was due to this current tumor. When am I going to get some good news. Small Cell Bladder Cancer is so rare and fast growing no doctor seems to know what to do!

I immediately thought that your situation is tailor-made for a second (or third) opinion, @nvmoen. If that tumor caused blood in your urine, you'd want to know whether it is attached to the ureter rather than "too close." Can you arrange for an expert urologist or oncologist with urology experience to examine you and provide either confirmation or a different therapy? Martin
