TG rocky,

I have been diagnosed as T1, HG, bladder cancer recently. My urologist gave me the same options -- intravesical Immunotherapy or R/C. Unlike your urologist, my doctor gave me the pros/cons of each treatment, and wanted me to decide with my wife.

I believe your urologist will have to look inside your bladder to see if you are responding positively to the treatment.

I decided to do what ever it takes to be with my wife because it took me a life time to find her. I thought we were going to grow old together, but now I will take what my body will give me to be with her one day at a time.

Much care, Lee

Hi all,

I was just wondering I have T1HG bladder cancer with CIS and I was wondering, I had 6 BCG treatments and my last one was April 26th, 2019 and I am scheduled to get scoped Friday May 31st, 2019. I was wondering is there any way to tell that the BCG worked before getting scoped? Because this waiting is killing me, the reason why I am wondering that if the BCG treatment worked is because my urologist was dead set against me doing this form of treatment as he gave less then 40% chance that it will work in my particular case, he reall wanted me to have the RC done and I do not and will not have that done.
