I’ve been cancer free since my surgery and BCD treatment in the early months of 2020. I am currently only on annual cystoscopy check ups.

Follow-up schedules can vary quite a bit based on individual factors like stage, treatment type, and how the recovery has progressed, so this is definitely something worth discussing with the medical team. Many others in this community have navigated similar questions about surveillance timing, and it might be helpful to hear about their experiences with follow-up care schedules.

Congratulations on being cancer free since early 2020! I was originally diagnosed with non-invasive bladder cancer in August, 2023. It returned so I consequently had 3 TURBT procedures. On my last one, I began an 18 month Mitomycin infusion therapy. They have always had me scheduled for a cystoscopy every 3 months to monitor my condition. I suspect that is more often than you because I am 83 years old. Best wishes for continued good health.
