For those of you who have been following along on this journey of mine, you should recognize by now that the photo attached to this particular entry means that this entry is about my health. This is a brief update on what's been happening over the past couple of weeks.
Last week I had several procedures done. Last Wednesday, my nephrostomy tube was removed and then Thursday of last week I had the stent removed. So for the first time since February 10th, I do not have any tubes sticking out of me or inside of me.
Today, I received the last of 6 doses of my BCG immunotherapy. Now I'm taking a break from that as well, so the summer is free and clear for me. BCG will probably start up again sometime in August, but for now, I'm done with surgeries and treatments for my condition. Now it's time for my immune system to take over and wipe out the remaining cancer cells.
So, hopefully, the next post you read on here will be about geocaching. I have a short little geocaching road trip planned for the first week in June. The rest of the summer is going to be devoted to visits to our wonderful granddaughter. I'm really looking forward to it.
