Ann, I am supposed to follow you on Tuesday, but my back is KILLING me. Have no idea what may have caused this....do you suppose it was trying to put together the Sauder desk-in-a-box? But I worked on it Sunday/Monday/Tuesday and my back started hurting on Thursday. So bad that today I relented and am taking Vicodin. No way I am going to do BCG on Tuesday if it is still like this....I can hardly squat to sit down "you know where." I keep telling myself that I hurt my back...this is NOT caused by kidney/bladder or whatever else my imagination cooks up. YES, I DEFINITELY HURT MY BACK.
Re: the dose/scheduling of BCG. As my uro loves to point out, there is no real "science" behind any of this. Really, only Dr. Lamm has really looked into it. The reason for the 1/3 as the next lower dose? The stuff comes in a vial that is easier to break down into thirds than halves! The reason for the initial dose? That is how the original company packaged it. The reason for the length of time? It seems to work!!! Ah to be at the forefront of science!!!
