Hi, I am having a second TURBT for bladder cancer next week. My 1st TURBT removed what was there hopefully, about a 5CM area including margin. At the time of the 1st TURBT no chemo was used at the end of the operation in my bladder. The grading is G3PT1. The 2nd TURBT is to confirm this diagnosis with biopsies, and to remove any cancer seen.
My question is whether I should expect chemo to be used in the bladder in this 2nd TURBT. Not sure why it was not used in the 1st.
thanks,
Leo
