Has anyone not had any treatment after non-invasive tumor removed?

@ib66 This past summer I was diagnosed with bladder cancer, had the TURBT and my urologist wanted to see if further polyps developed at the 3-month mark at which time I had a cystoscopy. 5 new tumors were found and he then suggested I take the 6 BCG treatments which I am now doing (I've had three already).
I suggest you follow-up with the 6 BCG treatments since as so many have stated "it is better to be safe than sorry".

@deidre77 where the BCG treatments painful? How were you able to keep treatment in your bladder for 1-2 hrs without leaking. They found multifocal tumors ( had turbt surgery) 4 weeks ago going for second turbt surgery in a few weeks to make sure all tumors removed. Urologist said I would need BCG treatment. How did you deal with precautions about TB, using bleach for cleaning etc
