Hi folks,
I read somewhere that people who drop out straight after the induction course have a 60% chance or tumour recurrence within 5 years whereas for people who do the full three years that drops to 40%. I'm about halfway through the BCG program but the side effects are bad and I'm thinking I might have to quit. So my question - what are my chances of tumour recurrence in 5 years now? Is anyone aware of research that addresses this area? Before you say ask your urologist - trust me I've tried!
