I am so relieved to say that the two biopsies that my Uro had taken came back negative. I will continue with my BCG treatments tomorrow and for the next two weeks. I assume the removal of the bladder stone will take place in October.

Oh man, I am so relieved. I had an idea that they would be negative and I am so happy that they were. what a reliefe. Thank God. Glad you are through yet one more hump. Thanks for the update, Bev.
Bev
So thrilled with your results! I am very happy for you.
Party in Richmond Hill!
What causes bladder stones? Years ago I had either a stone (not sure if kidney or bladder). Boy, did that hurt!!!!!
Val: My bladder stones appear in areas where my Uro had resected a tumour and they are attached to the bladder wall. He is going to remove them during day surgery in October using laser so hopefully they will not return.
Bev
Good luck with your remaining BCG treatmetns and getting the stones removed. I never knew that stones could attach themselves to the bladder wall. In fact I’d never herad of bladder stones until I joined this site. Question, are bladder stones painful like kidney stones?
Marysue: My stones are not painful; however, if they continue to grow that is a possibility. They do cause bleeding so when I do see blood in the urine I always wonder if it is from the stone or another tumour. I will be happy when they are removed and hopefully after this procedure will not reappear.
