User88,

The following article discusses the subject of BCG failure, potential causes, and SOME of the possible alternatives. This is of course, a subject to discuss with your care team. Unfortunately, one treatment protocol does not suit all patients.

Hopefully this article (or the other more recent articles listed) will help to start a discussion with your doctors.

Doctor suggest another course of 3 bcg maintenance.

Total bcg instaltion was 6, 3, 3 , in period of aprox 8 months.

My question is what is the definition of bcg failure? Does anybody else had the the same expeirnce? Does anybody else offered another therapy maybe synergo or others?
