How did your 6 week bcg treatments go? Mine start Friday 8/16 and I'm getting a little anxious. I've had 2 turbts (HGT1) and feel back to normal now so not looking forward to bcg.

Hi Sue,
I had same surgeries and diagnosis. I completed my 6 BCGs without anything more than mild bladder irritation from #'s 5 & 6 which resolved by the following morning. I just went for my recheck (still cancer free!) and will have second cystoscopy in mid-Nov followed by 3 more BCGs.
Unfortunately the waiting and worrying about results appears to be the hardest part for me.
I wish you settled nerves and best results!

to Sue@swh I just finished my 6th treatment today, after 1 TURB. I had no reactions or problems the entire time even though I was expecting the worse. I was concerned because I never got a full dose - 1/2 dose at first treatment and 1/3 dose at the other 5. I was told they've done testing and these doses are sufficient. We'll see when I have my cystoscopy on 9/24. Good luck with yours starting 8/16.
