Protocol for maintenance therapy with BCG

I’ve seen studies that are showing indifference in BCG treatment with 1/3 and 1/3 doses. With the BCG shortages having the lower dose is a good alternative. I am having significant progression of side effects in my maintenance program and am looking for lower dosing to alleviate these.

I also took the lower doses 1/3. She always shared a dose between 3 people. Maybe that's why I had to do 3 years worth. But even with the lower doses, I still had the side effects of burning, frequency, a little blood, and occasional pain. Think it's just par for the course! The burning 🔥 always made my mind believe it was working and killing the cancer.
