Just a quick update re my husband. Total total recovery. Hard to believe how good he feels. Recent July Catscan gave him the all-clear. Has gained back all the lost weight (maybe too much:). He continues to have no issues with life sans bladder.
To recap, he only always had carcinoma in situ, high grade. Bcg worked initially, then didnt. Gemcitabine no go. Fingers-crossed. The only thing he frets about is his arthritic knee. May it stay like that!
