Re: Bladder Cancer symptoms gone after fast, but Urologist thinks I'm crazy.
I'm aware that my urologist must follow "Standard Medical Procedure". Also, the oncologist requires a biopsy from her before proceeding With treatment. Further, my sister, who has been a nurse for the past 25 years stated that unless I follow their procedures I will not receive follow up care as in cat scans or urine-fish test to check for a return of cancer.
However, I'm also aware that since the early 90's doctors have many mistakes with me and I am not about to let them make decisions without me questioning every decision, right or wrong. Bladder Cancer has a 74% success cure rate, or 26% mortality rate comparable to bubonic plague.
Once, a decade ago, while driving a cab on a Friday night I picked up a group a men from a conference at the College of Psysicians. I commented to them that,"they acted as thought they just came from a funeral", because they were so solemn. They told me they were told that AIDs would kill 30% of the population and there was no cure in sight. As a comparison they mentioned the stats for the bubonic plague and the only reason the plague stopped killing was the rats all died.
My urologist face went blank when I told her that "biopsies were the kiss of death". I told her that the risk of cancer cells if disturbed could enter my blood circulation or lymphatic system. She had the look of a person in shock. Further, I said that I even know from being an EMT decades ago that if you have a patient with an injury not to disturb it. Finally I said that the urine-FISH test was superior to the cytology and that is the test I want for BC. "You can look but don't disturb cancer if you find it", I said.
Biopsies spread cancer cell 50% of the time not to mention the surrounding tissue. Since the cancer spread to the outside Bladder wall my biggest question that I have asked on another website concerning Urine-FISH test is:
Will the test find muscle invasive cancer cells perhaps that had originated from the outside bladder wall?
Secondly, Urine-FISH is only effective for the worst high grade cancers. Can I request an "ImmunoCyt (which) is more sensitive for detecting low-grade UC compared with cytology or the multiprobe FISH".
I did not want to completely handicap my urologist and I checked out,"Cysview (hexaminolevulinate) for Intravesical Solution - formerly Hexvix. optical imaging agent indicated for use in the cystoscopic detection of non-muscle invasive papillary cancer of the bladder."
But since my neoplasm is muscle invasive the only way she will be able determine the condition of the outside bladder wall is to poke around with a biopsy if she can't see it on the inside. But if something is still on the inside Cysview under blue light will reveal it.
Because as I pointed out I am not allowing standard medical procedure a cat scan might not be allowed to check the outside wall.
I have the "Cell Forte With Ip-6 & Inositol" and I checked Chrisb1 reply

and found
β-glucan the primary anti-cancer agent in the Rice bran extract and "Agaricus Blazei Murrill" mushrooms. Why do I even need to worry about anything else if I just take the extract and fast?
Time to sleep. I have to drive tonight.
