43. It kept coming back for me for a while.

At first a couple of times in a year and then gradually less frequently over the course of ten years. Some precancerous tissue was found at about 15 years.

Each time it was smaller, less invasive and lower grade. It is very treatable if it is not the aggressive kind and if it is caught early.

Dozens of BCG treatments and regular checkups are the key to my success.
