Growth after BCG, TURBT scheduled 1-06-16

My 52 year old husband had a cystoscopy 12-01-15 after completing three weeks of BCG maintenance in October. The doctor reported growth in the initial trouble spot as well as blood, blood clots and particles. My husband had no obvious recent visible blood or other symptoms (frequency or pain).

I'm mindful of forum feedback that BC has a nasty habit of coming back. Of course, we won't know if it has until after the biopsy.

A follow-up TURBT is scheduled for 01-06-16. Fingers crossed until then for a pathology report of good news. With CIS as an initial diagnosis, I'll consider recurrence without progression good news and of course benign best news of all.

My husband is receiving care at a great place (JHU) from an amazing doctor and we will keep calm and go forward taking things one step at a time.
