Hi @Sue888 ,   Sorry to hear of your diagnosis, but welcome to this site.   If you're unhappy with the treatment offered to you, ask your GP for a referral to a different oncologist.   Alot of them will work out of public hospitals, so it shouldn't cost you anything.   You are entitled to a second opinion.    If you give the Cancer Council a call on 131120, they should be able to give you info on any financial assistance you may be entitled to (or point you in the right direction).     I know last year in the US, there was a shortage of the BCG vaccine.   I don't know if they use it as it is to inject into the bladder, or if it's further modified in any way.  But that may be a reason it wasn't offered to you as a treatment.   It might be good to ask your current onc if that's why it wasn't offered to you, just in case, because if it's not available,  another onc might not be able to offer it to you either.  Anyway, I hope things work out well for you.   Budgie   ...
