  • A very warm welcome to the forum MR although I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with bladder cancer.

    I do hope this information we have about BCG treatment will offer some insight on what's to come but only your medical team can advise on how many weeks your treatment will be and if there will be any breaks, so if you're worried maybe you could try and see if you can have a chat with them about this as they will be in the best position to answer your questions and hopefully put your mind at ease.

    Hopefully some of our members who have had bladder cancer will be along soon to offer their support and advice, but if you'd like to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    If you are struggling to get a GP appointment and seeking medical advice, you could always try contacting the NHS on 111 for further information and advice.

    Kind regards,
