I understand...I wonder if there is any light at the end of the tunnel . I get very discouraged. I'm looking at 6 BBG treatments and 3 maintenance. Ugg.

I think you have to change your thought process when you find you have bladder cancer. It becomes a journey with highs and lows and always a chance it comes back. Try not to dwell on it being cancer but live each day and week. It may go away or could get worse but there are many
Options going forward We know how you are feeling.

I’ve completed 1 year of gem/doc treatments & now into 2nd year of monthly maintenance treatments with a cysto every 4 months. The treatments seem to be working & so far the side effects are tolerable. At the beginning of the treatments the side effects were hard to deal with but then you learn what is helpful to ease the pain. I hope that your side effects from BCG will be minimal & that you can look forward to feeling better soon!
