Hi everyone, how long do you think is too late to start BCG after TURBT? My dad’s TURBT was October 8th and he’s just now starting bcg 8 weeks later due to insurance reasons. I’m concerned because everything I read sounds like he should have started much sooner. I’m worried a tumor has had time to grow back and the bcg will be pointless. What do you think?
Hi Sjs60250ee5d57 . Time to start BCG can depend on the severity of the TURBT. They have to wait until the wound has fully healed before starting treatment and some wounds take longer than others. On average we see time scales of between 4-6 weeks. We do see shorter and longer waiting times, but good to know dad has finally started treatment. I hope it goes well. Best wishes.
