Journal entry by Lynn Behar —
I haven't updated this site for over a year, but tonight I'm inspired to tell you all that i have, as of today, finished treatment for my bladder cancer. As you know, after the first six infusions of BCG, I showed no sign of cancer. However, the protocol is for three full years of BCG every three months and then eventually every six month. I will continue to have checks every six months, and then every year for 7 more years (I think the ten years started at the beginning and not now). I'm happy to be reassured over and over that the cancer is gone. And I am extremely happy to think of never having treatment again.
My nurse practitioner today told me I'm the poster child for how this protocol is supposed to work. It doesn't always -- I've been more than lucky!
Thank you for your support over these years. I can't believe anyone is still reading this, but if you are, I do appreciate it.
Happy Jewish New Year! I'm happy to be starting a new year on a healthy note.
