hey all. I 26F found out abt my bladder cancer 6 months ago, after turbt and pathology confirmed. it was nmibc so I should be “cancer free” but 6 months out I can’t stop wondering… how is my doctor so sure I don’t have any other tumors anywhere else? I only had a CT urogram and cystoscopy before removal, and don’t have another follow up exam until the 9 month mark. In the interim I’ve wondered if maybe the bladder tumor was secondary to a cancer that started somewhere else. Is that possible? How do you deal with that feeling without sounding like a hypochondriac to your care team? Thank you.
