Janice,
My uros have presented a whole list of second-choice options if the decision is made to stop BCG. These include: gemcitabine, apaziquone, docetaxel, BCG combined with interferon, BCG plus cytokines, intravesical chemotherapy, and thermochemotherapy and combining drugs.
So far the CIS has not progressed; sometimes it seems to be gone, then it is back. The docs are encouraged that it has not progressed, and it seems to go into remission at times. But it has not stayed away.
I will try whatever they think might do the job, but if there is any sign of early progression I am ready to give up the bladder. I don't intend to wait for a T2 diagnosis.
Thank you for bringing up conjunctivitis. I have had arthritis for a few years and BCG does increase the pain and swelling. In reading about the BCG Arthritis connection, I had not seen anything about eye issues. Learn something new all the time here.
Best
Jack
