Well that was a full days shift. Up at 6 am back home by 6 pm . Rigid cystoscopy with ga found  a few red patches but no suspicious area and no recurrence in the bladder. Not an all clear but I’ll try again in 3 months after 3 maintenance BCG .

  • Great news Wally. This thing likes to keep us on our toes but all sounds very positive. Feet up for a few days,  Best wishes going forward.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.

  • I’m wondering how I keep on my toes with my feet up !

  • Sounds like a great day compared to my recent Rigid under GA after my Mitomycin treatment. 

    Feels like I've done 3 rounds with Tyson this last week and half or so. Problem after problem for me this time. 

    So awesome news for a relatively easy cystoscopy and yes it's always a long shift going in that early for sure. Although I had a midday admission again this time, that's twice now and it's so much better at that time than early morning for me as I work nights so getting up early doors is hard for me.

  • Sorry to hear of your difficulty Simon, and hope you’ll soon feel better. This was my 22 nd cystoscopy, along with 21 BCG and 15 mitomycin over 5 years. Along with 5 TURBT it becomes a way of life.

  • Holy crapola batman. You have certainly been through the wringer over the years. I don't know how people cope with that much. 

    So sorry you have had to endure all that my friend. 

    I understand that sometimes severity and wanting to preserve the bladder but surely at some point more retic measures must be the way forward. 

    I certainly hope I don't have to undergo that many rigid cystocopies and treatments to be truthful.
