| Subject: | Alternatives to Bladder Surgery |
I have muscle invasive differential cell carcinoma that has not spread outside of my bladder. I am at the end of four cycles of MVAC chemo, and my urologist has recommended a radical cystectomy. The chemo has worked as planned in containing the tumor and shrinking it somewhat, and I have not had bad reactions from taking it. I have full bladder volume and I am not urinating blood. Are there any alternatives to surgery? I am open to traditional and alternative treatments. I just want to know if there is an approach that would leave my bladder and prostate intact. Thanks.
