Well, it's about time I reported on my wonderful progress. I have been clear of tumors in the bladder after two cystoscopies, each three months apart
. I will be getting a cystoscopy every three months twice more, then I go to a six-month schedule. I have NOT had any follow-on maintenance BCG treatments after the initial series of six, as both urologists on my case recommended to "wait and watch" due to the low grade of the tumor removed with the diverticulum (via Da Vinci robot) and the tumors resected from my bladder wall. I'm one lucky man, and I urge everyone I discuss my saga with to get to a urologist immediately if they have any symptoms, especially blood in a routine urine sample.
KUDOs to the administrators of this board, and to the patients and victims who so openly discuss their battles with this terrible affliction. Let's all hope and pray that medical science keeps progressing to find more effective weapons against ALL of the thousands of cancer types out there.
