Just diagnosed

Good for you, Lupenbill!

12 weeks off the smokes for me done with that I will never smoke again

Excellent. Congratulations!

At this point I think my guardian angel drinks heavily. The good news is that this whole incident has given me the strength to quit smoking, after over twenty years! 3 weeks "sober" of nicotine.

Heather, WOW. I want the name of YOUR guardian angel!

Best wishes for your BCG treatments starting next month <3.

I had no symptoms, which is the scariest thing for me. No UTI symptoms, no pain, no blood, no difficulties with urinating. Then I developed a fever I couldn't kick, finally went to urgent care who sent me to the ER with sepsis. My mom (thank goodness) who drove me told the doctor I once had a kidney stone (years and years ago) so she did an abdominal/pelvic CT that found a huge mass in my bladder. Thank god for fevers.
