Any alternative treatments, such as mitomycin or interferron also require instillation into the bladder.
What was your diagnosis? Is it high grade? low grade? CIS? Depending on the grade of the bladder cancer, receiving the full extent of the BCG treatments could be very important.
This might be an appropriate time to seek a second opinion at a place that sees
LOTS and LOTS of bladder cancer. You can consult the Treatment Finder on the home page, or let us know where you are and someone may have a suggestion.
