@s38mmhoser Sorry to hear of your difficulties with the second round. All 9 of my BCG doses to date have been what they call 1/3 BCG dose. I've tolerated that very well, especially when I read of others having difficulties. My second cystoscopy after the second round of 3 was NED, and now I'm scheduled for the third round of 3 BCG instillations in May with the next cystoscopy at the end of June. I've read where a 1/3 dose of BCG is not that atypical and seems to be as effective as higher percentage dosages. You might consider dropping to a 1/3 dose. There are other alternatives such as Gem/Doc or Adstiladrin. Regardless of which path you take, best wishes for a tolerable successful outcome.

@jlp27 had a meeting with my urologist and another cystoscope done, still lots of inflammation on bladder but no sign of cancer. He has taking me of bcg treatment and is sending me to his team of specialists to determine which treatment would be best for me forward.
