I’m feeling optimistic! The dr did explain that the possibility of the tumor coming back after the laser treatment was very possible. But, I appreciate his conservative approach to try and spare my kidney. We’ll give the laser treatment, and possible Jelmyto treatment a try. He emphasized the low grade and non invasive nature of my cancer and said there should be NO rush to remove my functioning kidney right now. It ABSOLUTELY is important to get second and even third opinions!

I so agree with you @sally0526! I'm glad that you sought another opinion. If only more people would take the time for more than one opinion.

It sounds as if this doctor looked at your issue from more than one perspective. He took into account that it was of a low grade and noninvasive. Seeing the big picture is so important in dealing with cancer. I'm really glad that you found a doctor who sees the big picture.

Is there a date set for the laser procedure?
