ddoyle, Thanks for sharing your experience with me. I am sorry to hear of all the discomfort you are going through and glad to hear that no cancer cells were found at last check
It makes me feel more at ease hearing from you: "continuing inflammation would indicate that the BCG had "revved up" my immune system to fight the CIS cancer cells" I hope this to be true in my Mom's case also. She seems to be feeling well better than in a while? Seems odd though since what the Dr. did was a biopsy. I am not going to question her feeling well too much...I am just so glad that she is ;D
Pat, Thanks, My mom seems to think what ever they put in there with the catheter has helped her feel better as far as frequency of urination. She says 3 times over night 8 hours instead 18 times :o give or take. I live in Hopatcong, NJ.
TheWifeAgain, "A blood clot the size of a tennis ball had formed in the bladder" WOW :o That must have been totally scary! I am glad and amazed they were able to resolve it quickly and non-intrusively (if that is a word?) Thanks for responding to me. Yes, it appears it was some sort of calming liquid and for my Mom it seemed to help.
Thanks everyone again. I feel so much better having people to chat with. A bit less stressed and more informed.
Thank you,
Vikki
