All Clear!
Posted by pemquid on April 11, 2013 at 10:36 pmI’m keeping up with the all-clear crowd. Had my 6-month cysto check today, and all is well. One more in October, then I’m down to annual. My 5-year anniversary is actually this June, but my uro thinks it’s best to do one more 6-month check before switching to annual. He always shakes my hand after giving me the good news, and looks happy. I’m sure they see so much that is not so positive that they are indeed happy when we are all clear, or “clean” as my uro says (he’s from India, and will often say “nice and clean” as he’s scoping me).
Wishing all you other blc warriors out there good news as well.
