Rosemary - thx so much for the replies. Sorry for not getting back sooner. Talked to my doc and he said the 5 week interval for cysto after BCG # 6 isn't too soon, and he can distinguish between residual BCG effects and CIS. Then the following treatment will depend on what he sees. Just had my third BCG and still no side effects. I also asked if no side effects meant it wasn't working. He said no, everybody is different. I guess the one thing we all have in common is that once you've been diagnosed, there's always a big unknown (exam, lab report, side effect, etc.) just around the corner. They never end. I guess that's true for the undiagnosed too, they just don't think about it and the distance to the corner isn't as definite. I'll report how it goes. Thx for being here.
