    Just had my 3-month cystoscopy, and all is well. I start another 3-weeks of maintenance BCG treatment on May 6th, as scheduled, but they’ll drop the dose to 1/3rd strength because of stronger than usual side-effects I had last time (6 months ago).

    Now I can go enjoy this wonderful spring day in Maine!
