I'm pleased to report my cystoscopy this afternoon was clear. This follows my 9-12 BCG installations 6 months ago. Another 3 to follow in a couple of weeks. So this is over a year with clear results
I hope this gives cheer to some of you starting this journey. Originally diagnosed G2pTa in Jan 2024 with a large ~6cm tumour. After Turbt #1 had 6x Mitomycin C . Small recurrence in July 24 so Turbt #2 in Sept. Clear cystoscopy in Dec 24 but recurrence in March 25. So Turbt #3 in April 25. After that on the 6x weekly BCG and on to maintenance regime. I have tolerated the BCG well, with the usual stinging/urgency for about 8 hours after.
That's wonderful news Bicyclegirl . So happy for you. This gives hope and encouragement to those currently in treatment. Wishing you well going forward.
Great news bicyclegirl! I had quite a few reoccurrences after my initial tumour during my BCG treatments but I soldiered on and here I am all clear 9 years after my first diagnosis. It's definitely worth it to stick it out for the full number of treatments. Hope all continues well for you. Definitely deserve a treat or two to celebrate I reckon. Love Hx
