Hi Everyone,
Brief history, 11/06 diag. with BC Ta - TURB and 6 wkds BCG. Three clean cystos - DISH neg - forth showed velvety red and diag Ta CIS 10/07. Dr said BCG is more effective with CIS so had Intro (6 wks) BCG. A lot more reaction this time - bladder spasams, a little bleeding, low fever - once, urine urgency and just general overall blah! Had cysto last week - negitive! - Dr said my bladder really reacted to BCG - entire walls were inflamed - he took 9 biopsys to be sure - all negitive. So now I have three months to push this back in my mind and get ready for the next stressful cysto. If all clear I will have 3 wks of maintenance BCG. I know (if I am lucky) BC is always there with the fear of the next cysto - it is just learning to live your life with BC and not let it take over ALL your thoughts and lives.
Thank you to everyone who has helped me so much in the past, and I am sure in the future.
And thank you to everyone who posts on the site, as it sure helps to gather information quickly when you feel desperate. Everyone is so kind and supportive!
