Hello fellow forum members from a male with a new diagnosis

My result is written in the book as:

HG G3  p T2

Wgats does the 'p' signify?

Hi makem. The P stands for pathology. Simply means the results were determined in a path lab. Best wishes.

Thank you rily

On Saturday I see the surgeon, on Tuesday 2nd may I see cancer specialist. Seems strange way round

I agree, but then it probably depends on the availability. I wouldn't put too much score on the order.

I thought chemo and radiation preceded surgery as an option however, using ChatBotgpt if found:

Another treatment option is bladder-preserving therapy, which involves removing the cancerous tissue through a procedure called transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and then treating the bladder with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. This approach is generally reserved for patients who are not good candidates for surgery or who wish to preserve their bladder.

Just found more info about diagnosis via oncology letter: No metastasis

That is good news,you must be relieved.Best wishes Jane 

Excellent

Hi makem . Yes, for MIBC it is either removal OR radiation and bladder preservation.

Good to know no spread. Best wishes.
