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.

My dad got the bladder cancer diagnosis a couple weeks before covid shutdowns. I was pretty bummed when he said there was no stones, as this was the other likely option. He's been doing maintenance treatments every 6 months, and I'll never stop laughing that he totes around bleach and doesn't flush instantly on treatment days.

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."

Sometimes you gotta throw the kitchen sink at shite... but I'm imaging in vitro results looked promising so they got a trial up and running. Glad to hear your treatment went as well as my dad's. December my dad got the full all clear, after doing treatments every 6 months since April of 2020.
