Cystoscopy Clear

Had my flexible cystoscopy yesterday after the 15th BCG and given the all clear. Just a little inflammation left from the last BCG course.

Was pT1G3 with squamous differentiation at first TURBT, and pTaG3 after the second

Been told that I am on annual surveillance from now on with no further BCG planned unless I get recurrence. Seems the BCG route has worked for me for now, and only started it as the surgeon who I went to see regarding having a RC advised that BCG would be the better option for me. Glad I followed his advice.

Only odd bit is that since BCG No 6, my urine has been cloudy. No infection, but high levels of leucocytes. Hoping this is a good sign, but will clear in time.

Wonder if loads of beer will help clear it ;-)

Great News Tortoise, I have just finished my 15th BCG Instillation a couple of weeks ago. Like you I have experienced cloudy and overcast urine. I recommend real ale and curry every Friday. Keep well. Garviv

Great news Tortoise about the clear cystcopy. What a great relief to be put on annual check ups..

I second the beer options, had a couple of pints of Pride last night at the local pub quiz and I'm sure it's fixing everything..

Very happy for you and long may it continue.
