3 Month Scope after 6 BCG Treatments?

Madlove,

Thanks for the reply. It's good to know that others have had similar experiences.

It seems that most here have had the maintenance treatments,but so far my URO is not recommending that I have them.

I believe that my inflammation is subsiding, as I used to have to get up at least 4-5 times per night now I down to 1 or 2.

Thanks for the support

Dear Jim,

Hope you have a good report soon. My husband (CIS) also had a precautionary biopsy due to redness after BCG. This wasn't an issue after the first 6 treatments. The redness was seen during the routine scope after the first maintenance series of 3 BCG treatments. He has since completed another series of 3 treatments of BCG with no redness reported on the follow-up scope.

He continues to have slight discomfort when voiding which has been discussed with his BC specialist. It's basically the new "normal" for my husband and hopefully will resolve itself once he completes (that is successfully completes!) his BCG treatments.

Best wishes.

Thanks for your informative reply. I appreciate the support.

Jim

Sara Anne,

I forgot to ask, how long did it take for the inflammation you had to subside?
Were you given any medication to aid in that process by your URO?

Jim

Sara Anne,

Many thanks for your reply. It is reassuring to know that someone else has had the same symptoms with inflammation.
Obviously then your biopsy came back negative? Naturally I am hopeful that mine will as well.

I have had bouts with burning, and frequency in urination, but those seem to be gradually going away, so maybe my inflammation is gradually calming down.

I would think if the redness were cancer, I'd have a lot more symptoms, but not sure either.

Thanks,

Jim
