Protocol for maintenance therapy with BCG

I was cancer free for one year of cystoscopies and have been given a year without additional BCG treatments before my next cystoscopy in November. I am not aware of any scheduled maintenance infusions, only if tumors come back which commonly happens. I'm interested to see if preventative treatments are in anyone's plans. I haven't asked my urologist.

I am under the understanding that if BCG has worked (no cancer after the 6 weed round of BCG, you then need to follow up with periodic three month segments of additional BCG treatments of 3 rounds each and or cystocopy. http://Www.turology.info/images/packets/bcg_schedule.pdf
