BCG has minimal side effects! I went in, they installed into bladder by catheter & i went home, 2 hrs later you urinate it out. I had a little stomach discomfort but worked the next day thru 1 yr of treatments(12total). IF its available @ shortages at your dr, DO IT! Ive had NO recurrances in 5 yrs

@teresaep Thank you, this is very good news. I will have my post op meeting this week and will be presented with further treatment options - High grade NMI, 3 tumors removed. The surgeon said we will discuss options. I woke up from surgery in the middle of the chemo treatment in excruciating pain, sadly no one warned how painful it would be. I am glad you have very little pain from the immunotherapy drugs. I am waiting for my tumors to be sequenced prior to selecting a treatment.

WOW! That exclamation is the first utterance which comes to mind.
You are truly fortunate after all the stories I hear about it not being a successful treatment. As a matter of fact, I am scheduled to have my second BCG installation tomorrow and will now remain hopeful.
Thank you for telling us and I am sending my best wishes.
