I just got the path report from my last biopsy on 10/27. All clear! What the Uro saw during the cysto turned out to be inflamations, probably from all the BCG treatments, but no cancer. I will have a recheck in about 6 months, but until then I will take a BC vacation. After 2-1/2 years of TURB's, BCG's and fretting, this feels really good.
