Doctor called at 9:22 a.m. today, a Saturday.
TURBT and/or biopsy No. 5 was 12 days ago. That pathology report has come in. No signs of cancer.
After a few flexible scopes, five TURBTS, one full course of BCG (6 installs) and one full course (6 installs) in a clinical trial -- CORE 008: DDM/cretostimogene/gemcitabine-- you can imagine how much I'm grinning.
I know it's not a lifetime pass, but darned if it doesn't feel like we've gotten a bit of work achieved.
Very happy today. :)
Next up on the plan: Some maintenance installs in the trial.
Thank you all so much for being there.
Mark
Awesome news really pleased for you. I hope I can say something like that one day soon myself.

That is the best news MarkinUS! I had many reoccurences over first 4 years. Then after 27 BCGs...hooray all clear. Then again and again times 5 years. Phew 8 years since diagnosis. It's not a lifetime pass but it's a very good reason to enjoy your life. Cheers Hx
