So Greg hoping to start BCG asap. The answers are probably here somewhere but have some questions about what to expect. He knows about the general effects - fatigue, need to urinate more etc.
- How soon after each session are you back to `normal`? So life can go on pretty much as usual between the weekly sessions?
- Do you have to stay at the hospital for the 2hrs while you hold it in? What if you can`t? Greg has cystitises so goes OFTEN, due to pain.
- After the last BCG & before the scope how do you feel? He has a big yearly event he really doesnt want to miss, but I told him he may not feel up to it. - - Doc has said the scope will be 6-7 wks after the final BCG. That seems a long time. Is this normal?
- If the T1 is back its cystectomy. If CIS only, its option of cystectomy or BCG again. If clear, its maintenance. is this usual?
Thankyou SaraAnne - will be seeing our GP next week to insist on getting a second opinion about the need for RC - it just seems so final.
