PS Here are some interesting things to read if you want to know ALL the angles, for as much as anyone can do that:

The following hair-raising article is about the hazards of delaying cystectomy with T1 tumors:

"A study presented at the AUA annual meeting by researchers from Columbia University in New York asked the provocative question, Are physicians overusing intravesical therapy in patients with T1 bladder cancer? "

Happy reading and remember, it's all about knowing the exact grade and stage.

Do you know if the stage of the tumor(s) is Ta, grade1, or T1-which are usually grade 1 o2.

That would make a lot of difference in decision making, I'd think.
