I have had stage II muscle invasive bladder cancer and am now cancer free and doing my own version of maintenance as follows:
You might want to look at taking 95% standardized curcumin wit black pepper extract to both help recovery and possibly inhibit reccurrance, I would reccomend 1000 mg doses posssibly more than once a day. It is know to reduce side effects of treatment.

Also "timed release" vitamin C is helpful for building the immune system.

There are now less invasive ways to check for reccurance than cystoscopy. You can now take a simple DNA blood test customized for your biopsy cancer DNA. I have taken the Signatera https://www.natera.com/ and just to make sure there was no false negative I also took the Galleri test, which also looks for many other types of cancer. I believe Natura is FDA approved while Galleri is not yet approved, But I think it will be.

Hi there, I'm new to the group. I was DX in January and had TURBT done Feb 26, 2025 at Mayo and mitomycin treatement at same time. Low grade, low risk Ta. I did not know about the DNA tests until just yesterday and I'm assuming it would be too late now to request they do this since they've already done the pathology? Do you get cystos at all anymore or just bloodwork? Thanks in advance for your help.
