Jas, how is your husband doing? What did the biopsy reveal, is he still undergoing treatments? Sorry I didn't inquire earlier.

Good morning Richard. Thank you for your inquiry. My husband is doing fine, his biopsy showed non muscle invasive, high grade bladder cancer, Ta. Ta - describes the stage in bladder cancer. T0, Ta, T1, T2, etc…
He underwent 12 rounds of BCG treatment and is doing cystoscopy every 6 months, actually he “ graduated “ from doing cystoscopy every 3 months to every 6 just recently.
We learned to manage our expectations and live our lives one day at a time.
BCG is considered immunotherapy (not chemo), it was first used in the tuberculosis vaccine.
The size of your mass in the bladder is smaller than that of my husband.
I’m sending you some positive healing energy! Best of luck on Tuesday! Let me know how it went afterwards. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions and know that you are not navigating through this journey alone!
