    Sorry to read about this. Here’s trusting the next result is better!

    I’m in for the fight and I knew it could return, let’s see what the new treatment brings. Gemcitibine might be the answer!

    Sorry to hear that its back. I hope the next round of treatment banishes the cancer once and for all. Hang in there.

    It is very possible that you have “BCG Cystitis.” BCG can do a real number on the bladder lining. I had that happen several times. Of course, you can’t know for sure what it is until the biopsy is back. Keeping fingers crossed!!
