BCG Treatment
I've recently received a diagnosis of early-stage bladder cancer. The cancer has not spread beyond the bladder lining, and I'm about to start BCG treatments. If you have undergone BCG treatment, I would really appreciate hearing about your personal experiences. Do the treatments work? What can I expect? Thank you.
Hi
one of our members does a great job breaking down her experience with BCG in this article: https://bladdercancer.net/living/explaining-bcg. There are also a bunch of great forums and articles here: https://bladdercancer.net/caregiver/patient-bcg-experience, https://bladdercancer.net/forums/bcg-ready-set-go and https://bladdercancer.net/living/expect-bcg-treatment. I hope this is helpful. Please keep us posted on how you are doing. Jill (Team Member) The BCG treatment works but the cancer came back after tree months. I took the treatment again and the cancer came back. I took the treatment again and the cancer went away. I will be checked for cancer in three months to see if the cancer came back again. Good luck.
Don't know if it really works to keep cancer from coming back.
I am glad to hear you don't have any evidence of disease as of now. It is good that you get checked regularly. I am sending over this article, I hope it can help you: https://bladdercancer.net/infographic/recurrence-fear-follows. Please keep us posted on how you are doing. Jill (Team Member)
