Just had my 3rd of 6 weekly BCG treatments so far so good no side effects Fingers crossed. I have had 7 years of non invasive Bladder Cancer and have been well looked after by the Urology dept at NDDH. Just before xmas i was diagnosed with stage 3 carcinoma on the bladder lining luckily not spread to the outer muscle hence going for the BCG Route. A body scan showed no signs of spread. So again fingers crossed while finishing this course and subsequant follow on Cystoscopy.

  • Hi 

    Welcome , just wondered if I am reading this correctly. Is it bladder cancer you have ? If so I am more than happy to get admin to pop this into the Bladder forum  If that works for you Grinning.

    Take care ,
