"SURVIVOR!"

[nge]

Had a procedure done in the hospital last Friday. Got the results yesterday. I am 100% cancer free! I post this here as I don't post much in other forums. I USED to have non-invasive bladder cancer, but not no more. I told my surprised doctor that I had a better physician on the case PTL!.....nge

I never even knew I had this cancer. It was found accidentally while I was being checked for possibilty of kidney stones that maybe moved into the bladder. I was having problems with bladder control, he saw all these cells in there and biopsied a few. He told me it was pappilary cancer (non-invasive) type in other words it will never metastisize, but....... can possibly travel to the kidneys and gum up the whole works, plug ureter tubes, urethra tube, and cause all kinds of pain. It was in my best interest to start treatments with BCG, it is LIVE T.B. cells infused into the bladder with a catheter. Had 15 treatments over the course of 1 1/2 years. Plus, I had 2 bladder scrapings this year (in the hospital) and 1 tumor removal. I know this is TMI But, just letting y'all know that I did not go through radiation or chemo. My doctor said that if a person were to get bladder cancer, this IS the one you want In the end My greater physician healed me, with a little help from the mortal doctor........nge P.S. They don't know what causes this kind of cancer, it is NOT hereditary, nor contagious.
