Mark's Results..

Mark just got a phone call from his doc. He said that the cancer was non- invasive. Which means it couldn't and didn't spread. Which is wonderful news! But he also said it was a higher grade this time from when they removed it 3 months ago. Which isn't good...especially because it came back a higher grade so quickly. He also said they are still planning on doing 6 weeks of treatment once his bladder heals in a few weeks. But it is an immunotherapy called BCG..not chemotherapy. I guess he only got the one dose of chemo during the surgery process. This BCG solution contains live, weakened bacteria that stimulate the immune system to kill cancer cells in the bladder. The doctor uses a catheter to put the solution in the bladder and then Mark will have to hold the solution in the bladder for about 2 hours. He will do this once a week for 6 weeks. Which doesn't sound like fun. It can make him sick.. feel like he has the flu.. and give you pain when you urinate. So not fun! Keep praying that this will take care of it for good! THANK YOU again for all the support! We love you guys! XOXO
