well NOPE not the usual. What was the original pathology? It must have been a higher grade or you would not have even gotten BCG...its not effective on low grade.....so if he's not doing a biopsy thats not a good thing. Where are you. You need a second opinion.

Hi all,my name is gary,I have hade bladder cancer for 6 years. I just found this site, wish I would have found it years ago. The first time I had tumors (I had 5 tumors) my doc removed them. I did the BCG treatments for 6 weeks and that was it. Now when he finds a tumor he just takes it out. Is this normal?
