Bladder cancer treatment

I have completed Round 3 of my BCG treatment and had my photographic session and expected them to say I would get the dates for Round 4 shortly.  Instead they told me that in about 12 weeks I will be asked to return for another photograph session.  Why is this? - especially as they said everything looks all right.

  • Hello and thanks for posting.

    It is difficult for us to be specific why your BCG treatment timeline has changed as we are not involved in your clinical care. Sometimes. treatment plans may change or be altered depending on the individual circumstances. It’s possible that your doctors scheduled another session in 12 weeks rather than immediately setting up round 4 because they may want to give your bladder more time to heal and see how it responds over a slightly longer period. But I can't be sure on this.

    Your specialist team will hopefully be able to provide some clarity on this for you as they are familiar with all your medical details.

    I hope you know more soon. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,
