Three Years Cancer Free

The cystoscope showed no signs of cancer today.  Three years have passed since the tumor was removed and I've gone through 21 treatments. My next treatment starts in two weeks and I will have three BCG treatments in May.  Dr. T said if the treatments continue to be as bad as the last one that we can stop or reduce the BCG to only 50% strength.  I told him that I would rather go to the reduced strength over quitting before we finish the 27 treatments. He told me again that the majority of patients do not make it to the end and that I'm doing very well. Looking forward to the challenge.

Two Days Until Next Test

It's been a while since I last posted on my blog and I thought it was time to let everyone know that I'm two days away from my next cancer testing.  I go into the clinic at 8:20am on Wednesday to have the next cystoscope procedure done.  If all clear, we should start the next three rounds of BCG treatments two week later and go through the end of May.  These treatments are preventative in nature and are the reason (besides prayer) that my cancer has not returned.  If all goes well, I will finish up with the last three treatments in Nov/Dec of this year.

Pray for a smooth and pain free procedure with clear results.  It is always a very difficult procedure to go through, but it is a much more effective way of finding any early stage cancer cells versus the CT Scan.

I'm feeling very good right now and continue to believe that we have the cancer at bay.  I will post on Wednesday the results.
