Bladder can

Hi thecodger,

Welcome to the group, sound's like you've been through quite a lot over the last 4 years.

Quite a few of us on this forum have had or are going through BCG. I'm currently going through the process myself.

Hope they will get you started soon.

Kindest Regards

Hello the codger, I had six BCG Instillations last year followed by Cystoscopy where I was given all clear. I recently - February had a flexible cystoscopy thankfully clear again. I have a further 3 more BCG instillations scheduled for April. Like you I have several surgeries to remove initial tumour and two superficial tumours. My BC anniversary was in February ( 5 years)  Keep strong and safe Garviv 

Thank you for the  reply and will see how get on when I can start  the chemo

Have said before it is ongoing over 4yrs now.decided to have BCG that was stopped and wasgoing to have further surgery.That was called of twice.Now have a date for the 22nd this month. Will see how things go now

Have had 6 weeks BCG and had a camera check .Seems it is going OK and now started another a  further 3 weeks of BCG.I will see how it goes from there

That is great news codger and thanks for sharing. I am doing 3 BCG maintenance starting tomorrow, its always good to hear positive news. Take care

Hi,Good to hear from you,best wishes with the next round of BCG.Love Jane xx

I'm pleased both you and thecodger seem to be tolerating BCG well. I'm interested to know if you have had any problems with it?

Hi Jacaranda07, So far I have had 10 in total and I start 3 more tomorrow. I cant say I look forward to it because a) the whole day is about treatment b) for the 6 hours after voiding it does sting a bit and i cant be far from the loo. c) I feel very tired for 2 or 3 days afterwards. Otherwise for me its been easy, and I would take these side effects if it works, which so far it has. If you click on my profile I have detailed the experience so far. Hope this helps . Take care

Yes it's not the best way to spend a day. I did find at my clinic that the nurses were very attentive and ran the clinic pretty much on time. I had more stress trying to get parked, in fact there were times I spent more time queuing to park than I did in the clinic itself. Anyway good luck for your treatment, sounds like it's going well. Keep us posted.
