Had my three month cysto again and this was the first time I had an “ALL CLEAR” without any red spots. This is because I have been off BCG since July I think. My uro is managing me without BCG just using cysto’s every 3 months. Even with the severe problems I had with BCG I did feel as if I was losing a proven support so each cysto that is clear is a milestone. I am looking forward to meeting some old friends and meeting new ones at the Vancouver BCC meeting Nov 5th. See you there.
congratulations on your all clear I know how wonderful a feeling it is when you hear those words. My first uro said that those with a strong reaction to BCG seem to do better but I don’t know if that was just his observation of his patients or if there is anything scientific to support that.But anyway BCG does work so I am very happy for you.
Fantastic news Hilary. Celebrate my friend, nothing better than hearing those 2 magic words All Clear!
Enjoy the patient conference on Monday.
Hugs,
Jack
