Very good news to report: it's been 6 weeks since DH's 6th BCG. He went for a cystoscopy today & while there is an area that is still healing from the TURBT, the urology oncologist was very encouraged...& so are we! We await the cytology report. Maintenance BCG will begin in 6 weeks (is that the normal time frame?).
If I may take a bit more of your time, I'd like to share something pretty amazing :
We received a call from VA MED CENTER/OHSU nurse/cystoscopy scheduler, several weeks ago..she noticed that we had requested a 2nd opinion of the TURBT pathology, from Johns Hopkins, & she commented that since we seemed to be on top of this, would we prefer to choose the doctor that was to perform it or were we ok with a Resident. HELLO!!! Of course we would like to choose. She had 6 to choose from...one was a urology oncologist (with lots of OHSU, BC experience). No brainer!!! YAY, GOD!!!
YOU helped make this possible, with your excellent recommendations. Thank you for your caring, compassion, & time. Thank you! Thank you! God bless each of you on your road to good health.
