My husband had multiple TUR procedures over a two year time period and at every recheck there was another spot to either watch or biopsy. While I know of others who have done this for over 10 years as an acceptable method of controlling their bladder cancer, that was not how my husband wanted to live his life....hence the neobladder surgery. Perhaps with a low grade tumor they would not reappear with such frequency? When tumors returned while on BCG maintenance therapy, he was considered a BCG failure so no more. Good luck to you and your husband.
