My bladder cancer has come back and I'm looking at different treatment options. My oncologist mentioned several possibilities including continued monitoring with regular check-ups, immunotherapy like BCG (bacillus Calmette-Guérin) that goes directly into the bladder, chemotherapy medications also placed in the bladder, bladder removal surgery, or clinical trials for newer treatments. There's a lot to consider and I'd love to hear from others who have faced similar decisions. • What treatment option did you choose for recurrent bladder cancer and how did it work for you? • What factors helped you decide between the different approaches available?
