@gkarsin, how did the cystoscopy go? Any update on the results of your biopsy and what happens now?

@colleenyoung
I had my second cystoscopy last Thursday to take a muscle biopsy. It showed no cancer so now after it heals up in six weeks I will have the BCG instillments every week of six weeks. I am not looking forward to the catheter without anaesthesia as having my catheter removed was difficult so I will ask my primary doc for something to take to relax or sedate me.

@colleenyoung yes. Not muscle invaded. My doctor gave me three choices:
1. Do nothing now and look at it in three months
2. Have BCG instillations in six weeks weekly for six weeks
3. Haven’t bladder removed
I chose #2 which was also his recommendation
