Hi Scotty,
Rosie's question and the points she raised are good, what was your original diagnosis, stage and grade, and are the recurs of the same type? Are they single or more than one?
Rosie's 'watchful waiting' is good for those with low grade+stage, Ta,Grade1, single tumors.
If yours were also singular, grade 1 and stage Ta and not stage T1, you'd fall into a low risk category and could consider other options than BCG. Some doctors feel it's ok to repeat the round of six, others feel that can be too much, it depends on the reaction. I would just like to be sure it's the right treatment for your type of cancer --BCG is the best treatment for high grade bladder cancer, Ta or T1, but less effective on intermediate risk and low risk tumor types. Mitomycin is used for less risky ones, either one dose or more, but that already failed you.
How many tumors have you had, and in how many years?
Sorry if you gave this information before (i did not look back through the earlier posts).
