Hi all: I just started my second 3 week maintenance of BCG yesterday, 11/18. It was a 4 month time frame as there was a bucket list vacation that lasted 2 months, with no health problems during the trip. I remember when I left there was discussion about holding the BCG for the 2 hour period, cutting the dose, etc., as I had to bail out about 1 1/2 hours into it 4 month ago. So, this time I started to cut back on my fluid intake around 6pm that evening after being well hydrated all day long. I'm no doctor or anything, but the BCG treatment went very well, lasted all 2 hours and of course the burning and urgency, well, there's no way to completely get around that?
I figure the BCG is rough on the bladder, is that the reason they eventually cut back to every 6 months or even longer as the years go by? If every 3 or 4 months is keeping BC from coming back, I'm all for it, not looking forward to it, but all for it!
