It was extremely uncomfortable. And it felt like I was pissing razor blades for 3 days afterwards.

Cystoscope caught bladder cancer as I was concerned about passing blood. Underwent 6 weekly sessions of BCG. Waited about a monthe then a three week treatment followed by another three weeks.

Each session involved a cystoscope and a ton of BCG. I started on my back and every 15 minutes rotated to my side, then my stomach, an so on unti an hour was up.

I am cancer free an now have cystoscope every six months.

quote:

Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG), a type of intravesical immunotherapy, helps the immune system destroy cancer cells and is often used to treat early-stage bladder cance


I told my urologist I was sure a bunch of doctors were drinking and one of then said, "I know, let' try that tuberculosis stuff on these guys."
