BCG therapy timescales

Good afternoon Jane. I started the first series of BCG about 3 weeks after TURBT . The six instillations were over six consecutive weeks without a break. The whole procedure was uneventful with no side effects . Best wishes, John 

Thanks John x

Hi Jane. I hope all goes well for you once you get started. Good luck with it. Best wishes.

Hi Jane,

I had a six week break from my 2nd TURBT to beginning my BCG induction course. I was told that it was needed for the bladder to heal, but like you said different Trust's have different processes.

Hope it all goes well when it starts.

Hi Bicyclegirl

I echo Trevor, 6 weeks following 2nd turbt. I did the full 6 week induction without any breaks , so cant really help with that query. Hope it goes well for you 

Hospital rang this morning (a nurse practitioner who does the BCG ). They can start me tomorrow at 1.30, so the last of the 6 should be a couple of days before we fly out on our hols. So will be starting tomorrow - Fingers crossed for minimal side effects.  Very thankful for their understanding that we need to have lives too

Hi Jane,

Best wishes for your treatment. I’m happy to hear you will be able to go on your holiday.

Hi Jane

I started my bcg 6 weeks after 2nd turbt procedure. 

I am on my 5th installation of 6 on the induction course.

I had a 1 week break last week as it was a Bank Holiday and clinic was closed.

Hope your journey goes well. 

Hi Jane

Had my 2nd Turbt 08/04 and I'm still waiting for news.  Glad to see yours is starting soon.

best

Rob
