Hi just joined group been a rocky few weeks TURBT September, CT showed problem in left ureter and had removal of left kidney and ureter 1month ago , all removed from there so now to commence BCG treatment in 10 days , just getting over surgery as had a catheter fir 3 weeks so quite frightened as to what to expect ! 

  • Good morning Annabelle, that must have been quite a few months to deal with so much. The BCG treatment is relatively straight forward and usually on a weekly basis for 6 weeks initially. It involves introducing the BCG into the bladder for two hours. The procedure takes about five minutes and is well documented on other parts of this forum, very best wishes , J.

  • Hi Annabel,Welcome to this friendly helpful group.There are several people here who have had BCG and can tell you more.I’m sorry to hear about all you have been through recently but you have come to a good place for support.Best wishes Jane
