Hello jimbobee8240 and welcome to Cancer Chat,

It's difficult to say how well mitomycin c will work in your case, but you can speak to your doctor or nurse as they'll probably have a better idea on this. There is information on other aspects of mitomycin treatment on our website, which you can refer to at any time. You can also contact our cancer nurses if you'd like to speak to someone. Feel free to call the freephone 0808 800 4040, lines open 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.

All the best,

But I can only hope that expessing my concerns to the urologist w2ill work
