BCG treatment

Would like opinions on this treatment do you think it helped was it awful or not so bad and those that did complete the treatment did most people not have to have bladders out

  1. - I chose not to have BCG primarily due to the possibility of it not being successful for me. I also was in the midst of a great deal of personal issues and chose to go right to bladder removal. I had not problem with the surgery and was back to my prior life fairly quickly. It has been almost 9 years and I have never had regrets. But it was entirely my choice. I wish you the best in making a decision. Linda Urbanski (moderator, Bladdercancer.net team member)

    1. I have not had bcg, so no personal experience or share. Each case is very different. This article might be useful. https://bladdercancer.net/stories/finished-bcg I would ask your medical team of the plan and the likelihood of bladder removal following treatment.
