Can anyone answer the following question, please? If a patient is diagnosed to be NMIBC (T-is with carcinoma in-situ cancer), and if he decides (or refuses) to not go through the long (very long) invasive treatment (e.g. years of BCG, cystoscopy, TURBT, repeated numerous times), and insists to go directly with radical cystectomy (RC) and urinary diversion (e.g. Ileal conduit) option, is he allowed to do so, and whether Medicare or other private insurance will cover that? In other words, will such a patient be "forced" to go through years of BCG treatment before he can go to the RC and urinary diversion route? Thanks.

Yes, yes, yes,,,,but what did they actually do to become cancer free? That video told us nothing.

[@HuntsmanCancerInstitute]

This video focuses more on the emotional toll of having to make a heartbreaking decision when faced with a cancer diagnosis and the importance of community support. For this reason, we opted not to focus on the specific treatments that our patient completed.
