90. I have been fighting bladder cancer for a couple years now.

Sat Feb 7, 2026, 02:31 PM

I'm not familiar with stage one--is that a UK system? I was diagnosed with "High Grade CIS with pagetoid spread." I'm not sure how that stages, but it is high risk for recurrence. After three TURBT operations and multiple rounds of BCG, I have been clear for about a year now. Next cystoscopy is in two weeks, to check again for recurrence.

I'd be happy to advise and encourage based on my experiences anytime I can help.
