Hello everyone. My partner (51m) has CIS. He had two BCG treatments on consecutive weeks - however due to small (tiny really) intermittent blood clots in his urine, he couldn’t have the third session and treatment was halted pending a cystoscopy. He had that yesterday - the Dr isn’t concerned about the clots and has said he can continue with the induction course (to have the remaining 4 treatments). The Dr also said the gap between when the last treatment was (30 September 2025) and when the next one will be isn’t a problem (appointments are being booked for the treatment to resume, so we don’t yet know when treatment three will be).
I feel quite uncomfortable about the gap in his treatment and would have felt better if he could have just started again to have the full 6, week on week. I did ask the Dr why the gap in treatment was okay and he said – “in his experience it is okay”. I couldn’t get anything more than that.
Has anyone else experienced a gap of multiple weeks of missed treatments?
If so – how many weeks gap was there and did you carry on from where you left off or start the 6 sessions from the beginning?
I can’t find any guidance out there to say what should be done.
Thank you for taking the time.
Hi LillyFlower45910d and welcome to the group although sorry to hear your concerns. I've not had BCG so not much help. I am sure someone with experience of this will be along to offer some help. Best wishes.
Hi don’t worry, BCG is very effective but the body does not use a stopwatch a lot of the guidelines are ideals. After all it’s 6 induction doses because the drug came in a 6 pack 
g3ta + cis heading for end of second year.
