Hi Mark,
i appreciate your feedback. I had some info sent through FROM CANCER COUNCER and I looked further into BCG. Just last week I went in for my quarterly checkup - and there is still some cancer in the bladder (this is my fifth checkup, each time showing a very small growth reappearing), so in six weeks, back in to do general anaesthetic and have it removed (once again). As I am public, each time a different doctor. This young doctor, whilst having the camera inside me, really grilled me about having BCG. It was quite awkward to be bullied into BCG by a doctor when in a vulnerable position. I said to him I am skeptical, but still researching about the side effects around BCG. After reading the information that it is a six week course, and the catheter (had that only once before, what an awful experience that was) I want to find out about the possibility of options, particularly around natural therapies.
Did you find any possible alternatives available?
I know you are in the middle of your treatment, you offered to talk on phone, I think that might be a great idea.
send me your phone number and let me know best times to call.
regards
greg
Ps : I am in a good, positive spaceabout this “virus” and just want to be as well informed as possible about it as well.
