New to this bladder cancer. What is TURBT or TUR. I had a non invasive mass removed last week and am going to do 6 treatments of BCG soon. Sounds like this has more reactions than my doctor told me (flu like symptoms). Does everyone go through incontinence and pain after the BCG? Looking for any help please.

BCG infusion therapy is not fun to go through but in my case it’s held off the cancer. It’s called immunotherapy and your body fights the cancer through your own immune system after you get the infusions good luck and let us know how you’re doing.

Turbt is an acronym for the surgical procedure for superficial bladder cancer. As far as the pain and incontinence, I have experienced that as well. It didn't start to bother me until my 12th treatment or so. You get bladder contractions and leaking for a few hours after evacuating the medication. Expect that and take necessary measures. Good Luck with your fight.
