With my successful and clear cystoscope two weeks ago, I was set to begin the first of my last three BCG treatments today. But, similar to a year ago, I've had to postpone the treatment by a week, due to blood cells in my urine sample this morning.
We don't have any explanation to why the blood is showing up again, but we can rule out cancer in the bladder lining, because of the clear results that I received two weeks ago from the cystoscope. When blood is showing up in the test, you can get very sick from treatment, so we will take this week off and try to start up the treatments again next week. It is a little depressing to have this setback, when you get yourself all geared up mentally to spend the next 8 hours doing battle against this disease.
