Thanks, Sara Anne. The forum was instrumental in our decision to seek care at a major treatment center. We are fortunate to be only 90 miles away from Baltimore. That decision has provided huge peace of mind. I'll post an update when we have new information. Thanks again!

So sorry to hear that your husband has some "complications." This seems to be the day to hear about possible BCG failures....see the recent post by PJM!

Your husband is being treated at one of the very best places, so that should give you comfort. Wish I could do more than just wish you the very best....
