Bladder cancer has a notoriously high recurrence rate, unfortunately. (I worked for years in NMIBC molecular diagnostics.)

My dad had his bladder removed. Cancer came back 18 months later and he was gone 4 months after that. It sucks.

Plus, I regret that he had to live with a colostomy bag for that time. His quality of life probably higher if they do the other option (name escapes me).

Say more? You've got some domain expertise on this story and I assume an interesting story to tell!

FFS, I'm a physician and I had to look up that the acronym. Have mercy on people: NMIBC = non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Right but the first time in a message board thread you have to type "non-muscle invasive" you learn the acronym real quick. :)
