Had my first BCG treatment today for HG Ta NIMBC. Treatment went great, had no problems holding the medication in for 2hrs. Hope the other 5 treatments go just as well.

It's encouraging to hear that your first treatment went smoothly and that you were able to complete the full two-hour session without issues. Many patients find that sharing their BCG treatment experiences helps others know what to expect during their own cancer journey. Wishing you continued strength as you move forward with your remaining treatments.

It will. Does not get easier but not that bad. Did all 6 and doc gave me an all clear sign so far. Still go through the full plan for the next 18-36 months

I had 18 treatments. For me, the first few treatments were easy. Body starting freaking out on the forth after which they all sucked. Usually many hours of painfully peeing blood accompanied by a low grade fever lasting into the next day. Beats the alternative. I was T1HG. Was all clear on my 4 year cystoscopy a few weeks ago. No remission so far.
