I echo the congrats on the report. Can you explain the nerve damage you are experiencing for us that are still going through our BCG therapy? I would find it helpful to know what symptoms and how your Uro dealt with it. Thanks and again…great news. Chuck :cheer:

Yes, after my last BCG Maintenance in May, my bladder looked like a war zone. The BCG worked it magic so far, but at a price. Hopefully, the nerve endings will continue to heal, as they can be very uncomfortable.

Nix, does the uro think that the "red spots" are from the
BCG? I had some irritation like that that this is what they
thought it was.
