Hi,

My mom was diagnosed with Upper Tract Urothelia Carcinoma- after surgery we found out it was stage 3, high grade and localized. A portion of her urteter was removed.

Our next step is 4 rounds of preventative chemotherapy. Her treatment is the same as if she was diagnosed with bladder cancer. 

Has anyone had experience with cancer starting in the ureter? What has been your experience with preventative chemotherapy? I appreciate any feedback.
