I sure hope it's nothing. You are one tough cookie to get biopsy without anesthesia! My uro tried to get a little snip and I levitated to the ceiling. :ohmy:

Had my urology check up today. He found several small reddish "spots"
that may, or may not, be due to the BCG treatments. Asked if I thought that
I could handle a small biopsy and cauterization without the anesthesia. I said OK. He did it. The biopsy part was not bad; the cauterization was not good. Anyway, I will get the results either Friday or Monday.


Meanwhile I am VERY uncomfortable. On strong antibiotics and meds for bladderspasms. Didn't need this.


Will feel better later.
