Alan,
Great news! you are right about getting to the doctor asap.
I had gross hematuria and knowing my brother was dx'd with BC two years earlier, I went straight to ER - (it was a Sat) - Uro on Monday TURB Tues. - 34 months ago. When the ER doctor asked how long I had noticed blood, I said "what time is it? - One hour ago".
So far so good for me BCG has helped so far, since I can't take any more. I am hoping it took care of the CIS which came 9 months later.
Getting to the doctor earlier is ALWAYS the road to take
Enjoy your good health!
I go next Friday
Nancy
