Hi Joe: It is so good you have so much faith in your doctors, that makes BC much easier to deal with, I think. I am off (100 mile trek)to my 4th (weather permitting) BCG treatment at Walter Reed Army Hospital tomorrow and so far it has not been so bad. I did notice a difference from week 2 and 3 though - a little more severe reaction.
My husband does not say much either but he constantly is "around", always takes his cell phone everywhere, even to the next floor of the house. He asked Army for permission to take me to each and every one of my treatments and appointments, so I know he is really worried and really cares.
Good luck Joe with your first Chemo on Friday, we will all say a little prayer and wait to hear from you on how it goes.
Take care BC friend,
Sandra
