@janine1991 I don’t know if there is a right answer, I do know that the pain I had with the last three BCG treatments was unbearable I have said multiple times I could not would not do it again, thank God my last cystoscope was clear my suggestion would be do what is needed. If it becomes too painful can you not always stop?

@tgsmith
Yes, I can stop. I have put off starting this week due my bloods plus still have dysuria from the biopsies. From what I have researched if your continually immunosuppressed, BCG treatment has a lower overall success. But I will give it a go. Last year breezed through platinum based chemo & full pelvic radiotherapy. (For mixed histology small cell bladder cancer & urothelial cancer in situ) If BCG treatment ineffective, there is intra vesicle chemotherapy.
