I finished my initial 6th of 6 BCG treatments today. I have had no or very little side effects for the most part but I did notice a little bleeding today after holding for 2.5 hours. Glad to have finished the treatments with ease.
I have read through the forum and various sites concerning the cystoscopy after the BCG treatments and noticed different post BCG schedules. Some had one 6 weeks post BCG and others 3-4 months.
My BCG treatments were performed by a Urology Medical Assistant and I haven't actually spoken to the Dr. since my TURBT followup. The MA said I would need to schedule a cystoscopy in 6 months. I questioned her because I remembered a much shorter time from reading the forum. She said that my bladder would need to heal before looking in order to have a good look. So I have an appointment in early Aug.
I have no problem have a 6 month wait
but I am concerned if it hasn't worked this might be too long?
Any opinions? Should I ask for an earlier appointment or just relax and enjoy the time off?
Peace and Love, Dave
