Update on me

Mike, you have a good point regarding not emptying bladder totally may contribute to BC. It makes sense if you have exposure to stuff that can cause BC or if you are a smoker and the bad chemicals stay in your bladder a longer time. Good thought. Wonder if someone has done a study on that issue or not.

Thanks to all the amazing folks here for heartfelt wishes! Now I will be taking care of Kidney stones, my prostate, and whatever else breaks down in this old BOD of mine....lol.....but hopefully i can help give my verbal support to everyone here, and I know where to donate money to, thats for sure!

Fantastic news, Alanlee.
Cheers for you from Sacramento!

BCG does not work as well on low-grade papillary cancer, so it is not generally recommended when you have a first occurrence of that type. However, if you have a recurrence (as I did, after 2 years) BCG is often recommended at that point as it may slow down the rate of recurrence.

Alanlee,

Since it was low grade and no CIS, I wouldn't be asking for BCG. If there are recurrences, then another plan of attack may be in order but, for now, 'watchful waiting' with the regular follow up schedule is a reasonable treatment plan.

All the best!
Mike

It is always wonderful to hear good news like this. My best for your continued good health.
