I have just had a chest CT and a 2nd TURBT following an original diagnosis for high grade non muscle invasive cancer. I have been told that if the second biopsy confirms it is still non- muscle invasive that I will be started on a 6 week course of BCG. I am worried about the side effects of this and any support or personal experiences of this would be appreciated
