Update on me

well I had the laser again on Wednesday....and now the doc says I might need the BCG treatments.......I have a house in Taos NM for the summer....6 weeks away.....what do you folks think about me either waiting till i get home, or to find another doctor there ( i found one but I am conflicted about this).

I also uderstand that there are side effects.....can someone give me some insight to what i have to face.

My patho report comes back Wednesday and I am hoping for the lowest grades.

Hi Duke.....wow, youre better than me! I would have asked to be put out again! LOL....well I guess i will see what happens, but i think that if i have another recurrence after this one, I will have BCG and have no choice about the cath anyway....soooooo, I will hope for the best and expect it.

Alanlee, sorry to read of your reoccurrence. Alot of us have been there and know how you feel. The good thing is you're staying on top of it, and you seem to have a great attitude. Hang in there. As for your sales pitch to the Dr. about the catheter after your cysto, yes I was there too, thought I was pretty smart for a couple cystos, talking the Dr. out of the cath! It was all good till the next time when I could not urinate before going home from hospital and the nurse had to install the LARGE tube while I was awake!!! TROUBLE IN RECOVERY ROOM 3 !!! From then on I told my Dr. he was the man, and not to listen to anything I had to say.
Wishing you the best.

Gosh, Alan, I am sorry to read of the return of the "ba*stard cancer". Darn it all! Know that I will keep you in my prayers for a good result from the laser surgery.

Oh I know that for sure and really do appreciate it!

My laser surgery is scheduled for June 8th.....so I'll be back!
