@colleenyoung Hi! Overall pretty smooth recovery after 17 days. Small blood clot maybe once a day and occasional “rust” in the bathroom, especially overnight. But nothing unexpected.

Have learned that finding a good hydration level is really important. I was doing a 20-ounce water/Gatorade every two hours but was feeling like it was flooding the system a bit, so I backed it off to a bottle every three hours and that’s been a good pace for me.

At Mayo today in preparation for BCG starting in December.

Hope everyone in the US has a nice Thanksgiving!

@jr1466, all the best with starting BCG. If you go to the Bladder Cancer group page and search for BCG, you will find several related discussions:
