Good Report Today
I just got back home a few minutes ago from my Vanderbilt appointment for annual CT scans and 6-month cysto. As far as my uro can tell from my scans, all looks good. (Pending the official radiologist report of course.) He also sent me for a chest xray since it had been nearly 18 months since the last one. So I feel totally “radiant” today. :blink:
My cysto went very well and he always shows me the little white scar line where he “put me back together” as he puts it, and said otherwise my bladder looks “pristine”. What a cute word! My next appointment is October 14, 2013… ONE YEAR!
Not really off-topic, but I’m posting this in Chit Chat because I just cannot make myself click on the Invasive Bladder Cancer link to post this and be reminded of where this whole thing started nearly three years ago. I’d like to start a new trend of having a “Good News” category for just such celebrations!

Thanks so much, all of you. Of course my family and friends think it’s great news, but in an abstract kind of way. Coming from you, I KNOW you feel it because you’ve been there too!
Nothing like a big warm hug from my cyberspace brothers and sisters!!! Now that’s PRISTINE!

Cat,
I thought you have a rather beautiful glow about you tonight. :laugh:
Congratulations on the good report. It’s got to be really nice to hear “See you next year.”
