Biopsy after BCG induction...now home with letter saying...Findings :- no papillary recurrence, patchy eythema 3x biopsy taken ...
Not sure what it means, but now wait for results of biopsies.
Hi DippyHippy . Good to know you have had your biopsy. I believe erythema is a form of inflammation. I have seen it in other groups but not a term we usually see here. I hope all goes well with your results. Best wishes.
Hi Dippy, well done on the bcg induction . Its good the day has gone well and you are home with your feet up. Good news no papillary recurrence. The waiting for results is always a tough time, and hopefully you wont be waiting long.
Are you due to start maintenance BCG next ? I recently finished number 21 so a bit further along. If you click on my name , you can read how its gone for me. We are all different with varied stages and grades, but being on the bcg is a common bond . Keep in touch, dont forget to drink after your cystocopy today.
Much love Angela x
Yes, maintenance treatment is next. Thank you for your lovely words ...I type with glass of water in hand...feeling positive with good hope... feeling fine, completed the sketch I began this morning. Xx
Hi,Erythema is redness usually caused by inflammation,red patches are common.Most of us here have had them at some point.Hopefully yours will be down to the BCG but it’s usual for them to be biopsied.Great news that you have no recurrence.I hope you don’t have to wait long for the results.Love Jane xx
Thank you so much ...feeling really chuffed...!!!
