When BCG treatment doesn't work, there are other treatment options available, and it sounds like you're now exploring newer therapies at a specialized cancer center. Many patients in this community have faced similar situations where initial treatments didn't provide the results hoped for, and connecting with experienced medical teams who can offer alternative approaches can be really valuable. Wishing you the best as you navigate this next phase of treatment.

Why did you let them take out your bladder? They tried to do that to me. It’s not necessary.

Hi Bobbie, I'll find out my status after 6x BCG on Mon 11/17/25. Any insights into Duke? If needed, I'll be looking their program. Thank you and all the best.
