Three Month Cystoscopy

As someone who also had non-invasive CIS I can relate to your anxieties! First, the odds are that you will be clear.
Can't help worrying, I know...I still worry and I am now almost 9 years out and on yearly checks. Am fine most of the time UNTIL that exam time starts rolling around.

As Alan said, assuming you are clear, most urologists would start you on three-month maintenance BCG treatments. These have been shown to increase the effectiveness of BCG PARTICULARLY with CIS. Hope this is what your
uro does. And, also as Alan mentioned, if it is still there another course of BCG (6) is sometimes used and if it persists there are other options, such as BCG with interferon.

Wishing you a great exam!!

Odds are with you the BCG has worked. Most but not all protocols will have you on 3 month cycle of BCG then cystoscope for a couple of years graduation to 6 months then a year. IF the BCG hasn't worked normally it is tried again sometimes with interfuron as a booster. I have learned on anything, especially medical, one day at a time! That is all we can control
