In response to your concern re:overkill, my husband, age 50 had bladder cancer last year. With BCG treatments several times, his bladder has been clean. However on the original path report in 8/05 there was noted a slight vascular invasion, meaning there was the possiblity of it leaving his bladder. We thought we were "home free", told there was nothing to do but wait over time. Looking back, I wish they had offered something to make sure. Now the cancer has developed in his lymph nodes, and prognosis looks much worse than before. He starts chemo this week. I would encourage you to consider any methods you can to avoid it coming back. Best wishes to you!!
