Way to go Scot!!!

Glad to hear it. There is no one that I've heard of better than Dr. Lamm when it comes to BCG.

Congrats on becoming a non-smoker. It just keeps getting better (as do you) as each month goes by.

Hi Folks!

I'm back with an update. I did indeed find Dr. Lamm and had a second TURBT in addition to lots of biopsies. I saw him last week and received the news...cancer free! Nothing in the biopsies. He said I have a very good chance of keeping my bladder. So, we start BCG next week, continuing for the rest of my life I suppose. He wants to do maintenance after the 6 week course.

So, it's a good week! Cancer free for now, smoke free (I quit smoking after 43 years and now am a non-smoker for 23 days), and I have the best cancer care in the world. Thanks everyone for the guidance.

Scot
