Hi Everyone,

I'm so sorry it took so long to get on this week. Three twelves in a row and sleep in between. Todays the day to catch up on posts!!

ALL CLEAR!! The doc gave us a piece of schedule of what we need to do for the next 5 years and we're ready to rock and roll! I reviewed it and it was exactly what I expected based on research and what I read from all of you.

You guys are amazing! When I got on this morning, and saw all the posts, my heart was about to burst.

Thank you all for being such great friends. And now....I need to catch up on yours.

Ellen,
Thats what I expected to hear ! Congrats on the ALL CLEAR !!! Did he do well with the Cystoscopy ? I am glad that you have a plan in place now.
Have a great weekend,
Kyle

Thanks, everyone!! He did great with the cystoscopy. I think the doctor did an expert job of inserting the tool for the cysto--better than the nurse that instills the BCG. He said he barely felt it and no urgency or burning afterward!

Thank you again for all of your caring.

Every 'all clear' is a breath of relief for all of us.
Now, the plan really goes into action.

Ellen and Steve,

I love hearing clear and clean....funny how those words have a totally different meaning to us folks with BC.

I am certain this is the first of many great reports coming your way. Stay diligent on your treatments and keep the faith!
