Immucothel vs. BCG: Thank you AnneH, I spoke to 'my' Urologist this morning, because I am supposed to have Nr. 2 instillation on Wed 14th Jan 2015, but because of the enormous pain I am suffering whilst this BCG catheter is being inserted, I asked the Doctor this morning on the phone if he is familiar with Immucothel as an alternative treatment, but he said 'NO'. I am surprised, what do I tell him next? I read somewhere in this forum that Immucothel is not authorized in the USA by the FDA, but is legal and applied in Europe. Should I travel to Europe? Could get expensive to fly, stay 6-7 weeks in a place, and I don't know if my insurances Tricare for Life and Medicare will 'cover' treatment in let's say Germany or Switzerland. I think I read in this Forum that Immucothel has a 75% success rate vs. 50/50 success rate with BCG.
Anny comments are welcome.
