  • Hi Ant1212 and thank you for your post.

     

    I am sorry to learn of your situation. I can imagine this is a worrying time for you.

    Is it BCG   treatment for bladder cancer that you are about to commence.

    I cannot specify exactly the next step, as it varies by individual circumstances.  Further treatment could involve surgery, more lines of chemotherapy, immunotherapy or radiotherapy.

    Your hospital specialist will be able to discuss what treatment may be necessary; if or when you require it.

    I hope your treatment goes well and is successful
