    Had stage 2 bladder cancer, non invasive. Treatment was BCG straight in 2 the bladder. The side effects burning while urinating and the frequency. Adult diapers were used and still on going for a year now, as the bladder tends to leak. In september 2023 go8ng to have the camera in again to see and to have a laser at the ready to remove any debris if found.

    Did 6 treatments in december now finishing 3rd treatment monday so far so good.I call it pain day because the pain of the catheter going in is so painfull i have to hang on to side of bed even with them putting numbing it still feels like hot iron going in.They say I`m the most sensitve patient theyve had,lucky me.Catheter coming out isnt as bad because i tell them to take it out little quicker than normal.Like ripping a bandaid off.Coming out pain only lasts about a minute.Only side affects i get are shivers and small hot flashes.Second and third day after I`m physically exhausted and have to urinate frequently

    Completed 6 treatments without any issues and tolerated so well that I usually held it in longer - hopeful there will be no reoccurrences, but unknown if I'll need additional treatments.

    I never had any side effects and took all treatments actually leaving the BCG in longer than necessary. So far, no reoccurrence, but only the 6 treatments. I wonder if taking oncology treatments could be good insurance to preventing any reoccurrences? I have changed my diet significantly to eat healthier foods as well with more plant-based foods.

    Tomorrow I am going to have my number 6 BCG treatment that should be the last for this time. I have had it so awful after the second treatment and now I can’t take it anymore. It’s approximately eight weeks ago I got a RE-TURB surgery. Yesterday the crust of the wound came out for the sixth time. Don’t know if I get “the last” BCG tomorrow!

    Interesting. He says BCG is given after the cancer cells have been removed. So used as a preventive in coming back. In my case I have a low grade non invasive Urothelial carcinoma and my 'tumor' is flat and appears red. Even tho it is flat and was tested as non invasive he said he could not remove it and will treat it as CIS. I didn't really understand why but he has me set up for 6 treatments as discussed in the video. He also said although the red spot gave him concern he thought I had a good chance of knocking it out after the six are completed. I hope he knows what he is talking about. I will start my first treatment in 3 weeks.

    My father has CIS and was told he would need BCG. If I understand right, they don’t do surgery for CIS because there is no tumor to remove, it just coats the lining of the bladder like a patch. Has anyone gone through this? He is 89 years old. His bladder is inflammed and ulcerated already. I can’t imagine putting something in it to make it more inflammed.

He was told they left t1and Cis in. but he did keto and 9 weeks later they went back in and said it's just gone now. Keto really does works pepole. . there is no money in a cure and after 2020 we all need to learn about our heath and not drugs.
