First Poke and Peek post BCG
Very nervously went to my uro today to see what the BCG had accomplished. ALL CLEAR!!! I had felt so lousy for several months (my internist and I think that it was due to all the inflammation in my bladder) and have been feeling MUCH better the past few weeks. Was able to discontinue the Urelle three weeks ago and the DetrolLA a week ago. So I sort of felt that things had cleared up…but you never know.
Urologist had scheduled maintenance starting mid-Sept. Said that if I find a protocol on line that I like better than the one he comes up with just to let him know!! He did warn me that just because I had no side effects with the first series of BCG that doesn’t mean that I won’t with the maintenance…Says that often patients become sensitized.
Think I will go out and “tie one on!!” Wish all of you guys who gave me such wonderful moral support could join me!!
