Skipping a week in my BCG treatment?
Hello! So I just had my non invasive tumor removed from my bladder. I will be starting my 6 week BCG treatment soon. I am hoping I will be able to skip 1 week during the treatment due to a vacation then continue on to finish the treatments. Have not heard back from the Nurses yet. Also all the good info on here is helping me get through this..
hi. I am glad the information here is helping. Wishing you well with your treatment. I am not medically trained but I would say unless any medical reason, I am sure the nurses will support your request if possible. Take care. Wishing you well with the treatment and 
@Jfire - Happy to hear that you are finding info on here helpful. I did not have BCG and am not familiar with taking a week off so to speak during treatments. I hope that you get a positive answer on this. Enjoy your vacation and let us know how you are doing. My best Linda Urbanski ( moderator, Bladdercancer.net team member)
I did hear back from my Dr. Office and they are fine with patients skipping a week during treatments as long as they complete the total number of required treatments.. Thank you...
that’s great news. Have a super vacation. Please let us know how it goes and your treatment too. Wishing you well. Laura, Moderator, BladderCancer.net
