Late last year a tumor was found in my bladder. After a TURBT to remove it and 4 biopsies taken it showed non-muscle invasive TCC, G2pTa high risk. I was told I would need another TURBT followed by 6 weeks of Chemo. My 2nd TURBT was instead a rigid cystoscopy as they could find no residual growth and 2 more biopsies taken.
Last month I was told that I am all clear, with no residual cancer and no treatment needed. Now I am awaiting the first cystoscopy that I will have every 3 months for the next 2 years.
It took 4 months from my first consultation with a Urologist to actually be diagnosed with anything, and every cystoscopy I had to assess my bladder before the diagnosis came back as NAD, 2 ultrasounds found the tumor at a polyp size and when it had grown to 0.7mm, at the time of removal it had grown to 2cm.
I am so grateful to not have to go through any treatment as the last 6 months have been a challenge, but I can't help but be nervous and worried about them missing something during the procedures.
