@so1frustrated, I just read more information that you provided about your diagnosis in this post https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/602308/

While I'm sure you are glad to finally have a diagnosis and can now start a treatment plan, you're also searching for answers.

Urothelial cells line the inside of your bladder and is the most common place for urothelial carcinoma to be found. Urothelial cells are also found in your kidneys and the tubes (ureters) that connect the kidneys to the bladder. Urothelial cancer can happen in the kidneys and ureters, too, but it's more common in the bladder.

From what I understand, your cancer was found in the ureter pelvis and ureter. I have added your discussion in the Cancer group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/cancer/ as well as the Kidney & Bladder group so you can more easily connect with others with the same type of cancer or bladder cancer like @jim8086 @barbim816 @sue225 @plugger @texascitylady and @parus

Sofrustrated, what are the next steps? What treatment is being suggested?

@so1frustrated I was diagnosed with bladder cancer around 2 years ago and was terrified when the PA implied the best thing was to have my bladder removed and blah, blah, blah...I was one freaked out woman when I left his office. After learning more I chose to go with the BCG treatments. So far so good at this time.
