Could do with some advice   I finished 6 weeks of BCG on the 14may this year. Today after me emailing this week I have a TURBTS date of the 29th August. Is this amount of time between treatment and TURBTS usual? I don’t want to make a fuss but I see the guidelines are 8 weeks or so! 

  • Hi  . 8 weeks is about average in order to allow the bladder to heal after BCG . We sometimes have to chase up our own appointments. I have phoned up several times to find I was not on the list. I always chase my appointments up in advance now. You could let them know you may be available for cancellations. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.

  • Thanks Rily. I have emailed saying I feel it’s a bit long. I’m so unsettled because I hate being difficult and looking as if I’m queue jumping. 

  • Evening Joyce, you’re not being difficult and certainly not queue jumping….sometimes you have to chase these things up… I hope you get an appointment asap.
