Hello, Due to the divergent cells in my bladder tumour, I've recently been advised that I should proceed with a neobladder or radical cystectomy and tgat BCG may be too risky in the short term. I am looking at the pros and cons including survivability and recourance of both before making my decision. Any thaughts or experiences past and present welcome as seems often, I have not been given much time to decide
Thankyou.
Hello George71,
A warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Community although I'am very sorry you have the need to join us. I'm Derek, one of the community champions on here.
The community is divided into cancer specific groups and I would suggest you join the bladder cancer forum then cut and paste your question there for advice from others with first hand experience of the condition.
Best wishes, Derek.
