Today was my first visit with Dr. Urologist in several weeks. The visit included another scope to check out how everything is looking and it turns out that everything is looking pretty good. There is no new weirdness and the old weirdness seems to be healing up quite satisfactorily. I was due for another dose of BCG but the treatment nurse is on vacation. Dr. Urologist said that he was perfectly okay with me waiting until she gets back to start treatment again so I’m off the hook until the middle(-ish) of January. This is news that is about as good as I was likely to get today.
Right now the plan is still 3-4 weekly BCG treatments, followed by another scope once the inflammation from that has gone down (a few months after the last dose) and then if that continues to look good, monthly maintenance doses for 6 months. If things continue to look good after that I should be done with active treatment and just be up for scopes once or twice a year to make sure nothing else weird happens.
As everyone is aware, nothing weird has happened for the last three years so I’m sure that everything will continue to be normal and boring going forward with no surprises or unexpected complications at all.
Boring is good. We could all use some boring.
Glad things seem to be going down a good path.
