To Chemo or Not To Chemo

I had my second TURBT two weeks ago, 4 years after my first. I'm not sure about the original but this latest one was high grade TA. My urologist is suggesting a 6 week chemo program rather than waiting for another positive cystoscopy and another TURBT. I'm waiting for an oncology appointment to learn more, but I'm not feeling positive about the chemo option, mostly because I am 90 years old. I'd love to hear from those who've gone the chemo route what the side effects were like for you.
Thanks.

  1. Hi I am glad you are getting an oncology appointment to learn more. It is so important to have all the information and to feel like you have the knowledge to make an informed decision. I am sending you over an article from one of our members that chose the chemo route: https://bladdercancer.net/living/intravesical-chemo. I hope this is helpful. Please keep us posted.
