Just had my 3rd of 6 weekly BCG treatments so far so good no side effects . 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 4051budgie
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 .
Take care ,

Hi Court
Yes stage 3 which they removed and thats why i am on BCG to hopefully remove any trace that may have been missed. Will have another check when i have finished the 6 week course.
Thank you for your messsge

That sounds a good plan and I am glad it is going well for you . I will just get the admin team to pop this post over to the Bladder forum . This is the bowel one and they will be able to give you support and better information than I can . They are a great team and I will get them to look out for you .
Have a good evening ,
