It is a very emotional journey. Please don't get discouraged. It IS overwhelming, for sure.
After my husband's bcg treatments for
NIBC failed, a radical cystectomy was suggested. We went for a second opinion at a universiy hospital with a medical school. The new surgical onocologist advised against removal at this point. He explained there have been many advancements in the treatment of bladder cancer with favorable outcomes in the past several years, and suggested a round of BCG with Anktiva. My husband has one more treatment and we are trying to stay positive that this treatment works.
You are not on this roller coaster alone.

@msoles
Thank you for your response. What treatment is your husband currently on?
Am I correct to assume it is BCG with Anktiva? I have not hear of this.

Here's hoping your husband has success and you both have something to celebrate.

Sending good wishes.
