BCG
How soon after 6 BCG treatments is one checked?
Hi I was checked 6-7 weeks after the 6 weeks with a cystoscope then 6 weeks after that I had another 3 weeks of BCG I have now got a rigid cystoscope which will be around 8 weeks since the last BCG then cross fingers all being well when they do the biopsy’s in another 6 weeks or there abouts another 3 weeks of BCG. That seems to be the pattern at the moment it will go to six months between BCG treatment and in between that at 3 months cystoscope. Hope this isn’t too confusing for you I know different areas do things differently like you may have the rigid cystoscope after first 6 weeks of BCG. Hope all goes well for you Tracy
Tracy: A few more questions if you don't mind?
1)Your name suggests you are female? I ask because treatments my differ for me as a male.
2) I assume on your first cytoscope tumors were found and that's why you had 3 more treatments?
3)You have a second cytoscope coming up?
4)You mention pathology check which suggests tumors have been removed since your first 6 treatments?
Sorry, I'm not quite clear on this. Thanks for you feedback!Thank you very much for all your help and feedback, your info has been helpful! Tracyann, one more question if you don't mind. May I ask if you had risk factors? I'm not asking to be judgmental, just wondering because as far as I know I didn't which just adds to the angst. I apologize if I'm being too personal.
@Greig - I did not have BCG but have read that post treatment testing is several weeks later. My best to you with treatments. Linda Urbanski (moderator, Bladdercancer.net team member)
If you didn't have BCG, how were you treated? Has all your cancer been non-invasive?
4 to 6 weeks
