I completely understand being overwhelmed with the news. No one in my family has ever had bladder cancer either.
I did not seek a second opinion, first because I just went with what was suggested because I was scared and second because from everything I read my urologist was offering the recommended treatment.
I've had 2 TURBT procedures and today I will have my 5th BCG treatment at my urologists office. I cannot say enough good things about the care I've received and I trust I am in good hands.
Ask questions, like I didn't LOL. Will you have a 2nd TURBT before BCG?

I've had my 2nd TURBT. HGT1. Will be discussing BCG treatment. Can you tell us about your BCG treatments...like what side effects to expect.

I will not be having a 2nd TURBT. I start BCG on July 9th. This forum has been very helpful. @shester - are you doing all your procedures locally or are you at a Mayo facility? Wondering if local doctors recommend Mayo or you just proceed on your own. Thanks for your reply. Every one helps.

Hope you're doing well and done with your 6th treatment by now. I have a question please. I was notified on Saturday that there is a world shortage of BCG and wonder if you got the full or partial BCG in your latest treatment.
I am scheduled for my first treatment tomorrow and I'm upset that no one has called to tell me if I will get the full treatment. If only partial, would I have to have more than 6 treatments. I am in San Diego, CA. Thanks for any help.
