NMIBC G3 T1 with nested variant / CIS

Hi Lauo and a warm welcome to this supportive group. I had a different treatment but we have people here with experience of both BCG and cystectomy and should be able to answer any questions for you. A difficult decision for you so gather as much information as you can to make an informed decision. Best wishes.

At age 57, I was TaG3 and offered BCG or cystectomy.  It is a very difficult decision, you have to weigh up pros and cons, risks and benefits in relation to your own circumstances. I chose cystectomy for various reasons, but including wanting best chance of cure. I didn't want to risk having BCG and still needing cystectomy, possibly needing chemo too, or even getting an incurable recurrence. 

Happy to answer any questions about cystectomy as a female. The impact is a bit different for males.

Hi Lauo,Welcome to the group.I hope you find it supportive and helpful.Best wishes Jane
