Thank you Mary Sue, this is very helpful.

I will definitely be at the next meeting of the Women’s only group on November 1st, and have emailed Angela.

Thanks,

This is very helpful, thank you. The patient guide from Bladder Cancer Canada says the side effects of chemo are very similar to BCG. Do you or anyone on the forum know if this is the case with all types of chemo?

My urologist’s locum has recommended intravesical chemo for my non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.

I’m looking for advice on the efficacy and side effects of this treatment given my circumstances.

Two years after my diagnosis and TURBT procedure in May 2021, the doctor has recently found “2 tiny foci of papillary change” in the wall of my bladder twice over 4 months (June and October 2023).

Thanks.
