Today was Bill's quarterly cystoscopy/check-up. It wasn't all good news like October, but not all bad either. It showed a tiny spot that the doctor wanted to biopsy, but due to its difficult location and the pain it would cause, he decided to do it in surgery with anesthetic and better access. He said it definitely looks low grade and very small. I could barely see it. After the biopsy he will give Bill a local dose of chemo to catch any possible floaters. In July 18 such spots were removed and the same dose of chemo was done so this is certainly an improvement. We had hoped, of course, that it would be totally clear. The surgery is scheduled for Feb. 8. We expect it to be short with very little recovery time needed.
