Your request is way over my pay grade. However, each 3 month that you are clear the odds are it is not coming back. We all have that "monkey" in the back of our minds. We simply have to go on and continue our living and try and not worry about it. Probability says most of us will die from something else!

Alan,

With your experience, and given the clean biopsy, and 3 month follow up clean cystocopy, are there signs to look for to predict another clean cystoscopy? I am feeling fine, working out regularly, playing a lot of golf. No burning, no bleeding, nothing unusual.

Mistersac, live your life. I'd plan that Florida trip and find a URO that will give you that 3 month BCG follow up. I would check and see which supplier they use as there are 2 different makers last I heard. 2 clean reports! I'd feel optimistic!

As I approach another 3 month cystoscopy on October 4th I am unsettled but optimistic. I was diagnosed last November with non invasive CIS, had 6 BCG treatments, followed by a biopsy that was clean, and a cystoscopy 3 months later that was also clean. I have felt great work out regularly, play a ton of golf, and live my life. I know there are no crystal balls, but should I be optimistic about the upcoming cystoscopy? I hope to get clearance to book a winter in Florida if it is.
