G1-PTA-TCC GIVEN AS RESULT OF TURBT PROCEDURE DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR TO ANYONE AND CAN INTERPRET IN TO SIMPLE WORDS. EXPLANATION GIVEN OVER THE PHONE AND TOLD NO APPT TILL AUGUST THEN FLEXICAM IN AUGUST . SO MY UNDERSTANDING OF THIS IS THE TUMOR WAS REMOVED NO TREATMENT AS YET BUT NO UNDERSTANDING OF THE ABOVE TERMINOLOGIES. CAN ANY ONE ADVISE PLEASE?
Hi Sunshine forever . Good news in the great scheme of things. G1 is the lowest and least aggressive grade. TA is non invasive just sitting on the bladder lining. TCC is transitional cell carcinoma ( very common ) . The P just stands for pathology meaning the results were determined in a path lab. Looks like they are just going to monitor you. Best wishes wishes going forward.
Rely wish I could give you biggest hug! Results given with no clear explanation only you will get it in a letter was so worrying.
.with lots of ️ thank you
Hi Sunshineforever, if you have to have bladder cancer at all (and we'd all prefer not), those are best possible results. Nothing to do but relax and fingers crossed for the next flexi. I'd definitely be raising a glass to that result! Sending hugs Hx
I will go better than raising a glass off on holiday begining of June thank you for reassuring thoughtsxx
Bless you feel so grateful and hope the support shown will help others awaiting results never give in!
