Newbie! I\'m checkin\' in....

Hi Mike , Glad you made it through your bcg treatments. I hope you are feeling good for Christmas.
When I hear people talking about getting up to go the bathroom , I think we ought to have a contest to see who has to get up the most ! lol My all time high was nine times , Usually six times a night for me.
Have a pain free, nice Christmas holiday . Rocky

Congrats on getting through the first course! Hope all goes well on your TURBT!

Update #5: BCG ALL DONE (for a while)! Had 6th and last treatment yesterday. This one gave me the most notable side effects - had a fever of just over 100 last night, and had a hard time making it to the toilet without dribbling (got up 5 times). Not as much bleeding this time, though - just flesh chunks. Felt worn out today, but no fever, and toilet habits are improving. I'm scheduled for a cysto/TUR on 1 Feb, and this will be with full anesthesia so the doc can use the Holomium laser if needed. He also is concerned about the diverticulum, and wants to be able to do anything needed regarding it (except removal - that will come later, if needed). I'll start a new thread after my cysto.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!

Glad to hear your Graduation is soon. Put a candle on a Twinkie! After my 6th, it was about 2 weeks when random evenings allowed me to sleep all night, no trips. Just this week I slept 4 nites in a row, guess the BCG is wearing off? And I stopped taking the Vesicare too. Will stick some positive vibrations in Santa's bag, to be delivered to you. RB

Mike hang in there. Just had my 25th at hopkins yesterday. All full strength

Feel like crap today but by tonight other than tired, I should be OK.
