All clear (still)!
Posted by pemquid on April 6, 2012 at 11:37 amJust had my 6-month cysto yesterday, and remain all clear (or as my Indian urologist says, “clean”). It’s now been almost 4 years since I had a recurrence, and one more year to go before I can go to yearly check-ups.
I’ve been so busy at work, and planning our upcoming trip to Europe, that I almost forgot about the check-up until last week when I read a couple of other postings here about “all clears.” I thought to myself, “These folks and I are on almost the same check-up schedule. Guess I’m due too!” I know some of you can’t imagine right now what it’s like to have bladder cancer check-ups get so routine that you almost forget about them, but hopefully that time will come for you too.
