Still one more Cysto, and both the physical exam and the cytology were negative. Yes!!!
I wish I'd kept track of how many of these I've had (I know I've had 4 TURB's), since I was diagnosed with G1T3 Bladder Cancer. Since I STILL have one every 6 - 8 months, and early on it was every 2 - 3 months, I can say I've been through this proceedure a LOT.
Still, it beats a same day biopsy! Or worse...
After all, "Patients with T1G3 bladder tumours who are treated conservatively are at life-long risk of having a muscle-invasive tumour and dying from bladder cancer." ( http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/120699915/abstract?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0 )
