I had this treatment almost two years ago with no side effects. My followups have proven to show that I am cancer free. In February 2019 I will have my final three month exam and I will then start my one year, every six months, exam. Than you, Memorial Hermann Houston for saving my life.
Wow I am glad to hear, that you are cancer free. My dad had a high grade tumor and he is currently on his bcg treatment. He is now 4 months cancer free and hopefully forever
Thank you for your positive feedback on this. My mother is starting BCG treatment tomorrow and I am very nervous that she will have side effects. Did the treatment burn your bladder or did you have a hard time holding it in like this gentleman did? Thank you for your time. Anyones response is greatly appreciated.

How you doing Mr.Ken ?
bravo - well done, succinct and frank - thank you all for helping people in the future.
Best explanation I have heard to date. Thank you!
How well does this treatment work when patients have difficultly holding their urine do to prostate issues? What sort of changes/alterations are done to ensure the patient can hold the medicine for the necessary amount of time?
What this gentleman is saying is true.
i am in this process right now and i am still releasing blood clots and light blood flow . no there aren"t any other side effects i'm hoping it will go well. .
How you doing today man?
@@totz83 great!!!! Going in for my annual cystoscopy checking... Yet in remission 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@anthonygavin3564 Good
Can anyone answer the following question, please?
If a patient is diagnosed to be NMIBC (T-is with carcinoma in-situ cancer), and if he decides (or refuses) to not go through the long (very long) invasive treatment (e.g. years of BCG, cystoscopy, TURBT, repeated numerous times), and insists to go directly with radical cystectomy (RC) and urinary diversion (e.g. Ileal conduit) option, is he allowed to do so, and whether Medicare or other private insurance will cover that? In other words, will such a patient be "forced" to go through years of BCG treatment before he can go to the RC and urinary diversion route?
Thanks.
How are you today?
