Bladder Cancer | Dr. Tony Talebi discusses 'The treatment of Stage 1 to 3 Bladder Cancer?'

[davidlafortune]

I found this video to be extremely helpful. My bladder cancer was T1 high grade noninvasive. The mast was removed from my bladder. I then started BCG treatments for 6 weeks. Then a cystocopy to check bladder. Then another 6 weeks of BCG treatments. I am now in year 3 of treatment. I have been cancer free for the past two years. I will have another cystocopy at the end of July. In December I will have the last 3 BCG treatments. It has been a long journey but I am so glad that they caught my bladder cancer early. Good luck everyone!!

i have learned more about my issues by watching this presentation than i ever did by reading material or face to face talks with urologists . thanks for making things clearer for me.

[jeanrussell]

I have/had bladder cancer and never smoked...no history of anything. Was lucky it was caught in very early stages by a simple urinalysis ❤️

good information

[robertrichard]

Much appreciated. You prepared me for my meeting with the surgeon tomorrow. I know have questions I can ask as well as an understanding of the entire process and options. Great Video.

This is a great video, I just had 12 tumors removed from my bladder in 1 surgery. fortunately for me the tumors did not invade the bladder muscle. Within 8 weeks I was back to my normal daily routine, I did have 6 weekly BCG treatments (no side effects). And probably one of the countries best surgeons at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. going in for my second cystoscope in Sept, since my surgery in Feb of 2017. Doing great. My Drs. name is Scott Gilbert. He keeps the visits short and sweet, which I like. He will answer all of your questions as well. I loved Moffitt.

I got all the way from x-ray to CAT Scan with no detection. The cystoscope procedure in my doctor’s office went well until the irritation. Then, I saw the 2 primary tumors (which proved to be (TA or T1) high grade). I attribute my current status to the early detection through microscopic blood in a routine physical and the follow up by my doctors. As a result of the early detection, my cancer had not penetrated into the second level. My doctor who, followed the steps indicated here (chemo to BCG), has been very reassuring. I am now into the every 6-month step in the BCG process. BCG does irritate my bladder, but after a year and a half following surgeries to remove the tumors and surrounding material (for safety). I am thankful for the early referral from my doctor to the specialist.

[mlines]

Very clear description of the various process. Thanks for showing this.

[Drainman]

I had T2 Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Had A 3.7 Centimeter Tumor removed followed by 7 weeks Chemo and 37 Radiation treatments Still have my Bladder it works very well I feel that Bladder preservation was the best choice but from the Chemo my feet bottom and my fingers have numbness and my balance is not that good.Because I had a hard time falling asleep I take a half of a Zanax one hour prior to sleep and that helps me alot It has been over 2 years since I completed treatment so far so good I do understand that I have bought time and that I will never grow old but I am still strong and in one piece I am 55 years old.
