Checkup OK….probably
Had my 6 mos. cysto this morning. Four and a half years in!! He said it looked “pretty good.” There are some places that look like irritated patches (could be leftover from the BCG’s). He “thinks” everything is OK but will reserve final judgement until the cytology is back.
How is that for an “all clear?”

Sara Ann, great news, when you think of all the BCG we have had the bladder should be irritated.

Sara Ann,
Waiting to hear the excellent from your cytology test, but “pretty good” is definately better than many other words we’ve all heard.

It’s “pretty sweet”
Not perfectly sweet.

Run with it Sara Ann, run with it! I am looking at it as an all clear! Think positive as I know you do.
Take it until something argues against it! I’m sure it’s a bit unnerving to get an all clear with that “but” at the end putting it off for a few more days. Hang in there!
You did a great job on the Board presentation! I just found it a few days ago. And, you rooked mav-a-lus, da-ling!
