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

- tptacek 1y agoSay more? You've got some domain expertise on this story and I assume an interesting story to tell!
- chrisgd 1y agoMy 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).
- 0xWTF 1y agoFFS, I'm a physician and I had to look up that the acronym. Have mercy on people: NMIBC = non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
- tptacek 1y agoRight but the first time in a message board thread you have to type "non-muscle invasive" you learn the acronym real quick. :)
