Hi all!

This coming Wednesday I have my 15th instillation of BCG. Then a cystoscopy in a couple of weeks time and then we will discuss whether I need more BCG. My consultant thinks that I can stop. He says that 90% of the BCG benefits are had in the first year. At this point, if and until I get the all clear  the BCG risks outweigh the benefits... 

All in all I think that I have been extremely lucky. Having caught it early, having operated very soon, no interruptions in the treatment,  no bad effects from the treatment,  and a consultant and a BCG nurse that I have difficulties imagine better could exist...

I really wish all of you people in this forum the same outcome and luck that I have had. We have all been in very dark places. I hope we can all come back!
