@wifey9 I too had high grade bladder cancer. After tumor removal I chose BCG (6 treatments). Bladder cancer came back 6 months later and I had another surgery. They then suggested Chemo into bladder …that did not work, so I called Stanford in CA and they advised me to go back and do BCG treatments again as it does not always work the first time. They were correct!! I have been cancer free for over a year! I will go in for another Cystectomy to check in 6 mos..No 3 week maintenance of BCG is recommended unless cancer reoccurs.

@stevedoc Great news! I'm so glad the BCG finally worked for you! I've been clear for 18 months plus now. My next appt for cystoscopy is in November 2026, a year from my last one. I am feeling blessed! I hope you are clear at your next check, too!
