I agree @barondog. It has kept mine away since the removal in 2021. Burning, painful, and not much fun at all, but 26+ treatments later and I'm still cancer free 🙏 I'll have another cysto in September. I'm hoping if all clear, BCG is done and maybe I'll go to annual cystoscopies. Fingers crossed and I'll keep you all posted.
I do wish I had known from the beginning that it was a 3 year process, but no one told me that. Had an absolutely horrible doctor. Thank God I'm not with him anymore. I'm now at MD Anderson.

Could u elaborate on bcg treatments. We're you able to work or needed to take sick leave? I'm due for 6 weekly treatments. 26 treatments sounds like a lot. Did they get worse over time? What was the treatment schedule?
