Another tumour 😩
Sadly the cystoscopy showed another tumour today. The fourth return since 2016 looks like the Mitomycin isn’t working for me. I’m thinking BCG is the next step after the operation on 3 September. Hoping it’s another benign one like the last time 🤞🌻 Hope you’re having a more positive start to the week

BCG vaccine - now, later & side effects
I’m keen to hear about parents’ recent experiences of their newborn receiving the BCG vaccine, please - what the side effects were and whether anyone paid to get it a bit later on (and how much it cost). I’m due to give birth in the next few weeks. I’ve been told that the BCG vaccine will be offered

PBC and bladder cancer
Hi. Has anyone here with PBC also been diagnosed with bladder cancer? Have had tumour removed and awaiting treatment plan possibly chemo using mitomycin into bladder or immunotherapy using BCG Wondererd if options might be limited due to having PBC?

BAT stumped, padding up for second innings
OTC agents include red reishi mushroom,
saw
palmetto
(doubts about effectiveness) and green tea. 5. I have also noted some reports of synergy between Zyflamend and bicalutamide.

Little bit of hope for hair loss sufferers
Took biotin, vit d, vitamin b, vitamin c,
saw
palmetto
, selenium, magnesium, zinc etc etc. Nothing at all worked. I spent allot of money on shampoos and conditioners. Including all the vitamins... I paid for private bloods and endo appointments. In the end the result was the same.

A change for the better at last.
Hi friends, went to have another Cystoscope yesterday, the good news was that the doctor saw no new tumour. So recommended for me to start the BCG treatment, which will be done at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford. So hopefully I can tolerate it. As there is no alternative, for me as my heart is not up

After my Bladder Cancer diagnosis, along with CIS and having had 3 years of BCG, it was nothing compared to how friends and relatives reacted. To say I was ostracized is an understatement. After informing those who knew me, the emails and telephone calls stopped. It was though I had an infectious disease

bladder cancer
I have bladder cancer, solid tumor , inoperable. I've had bcg and gemcitabine which has been ineffective. I've had 2 stents in ureters because tumor has pressed on ureters and effected kidney function. I'm 81 years old. No treatment has been offered.

Latest update from Rienij,
Dear friends thank you for your support over the last three month. It certainly has been turbulent. But today I finally escaped from the hospital. Have now been in hospital of the trust. 4 hospitals in all. Enough is enough. Back home having carers coming in 4 x a day. Hopefully that will work nicely

CLL, Bladder Cancer and BCG coming up for me
I've been on Ibrutinib for about 1 year, diagnosed in 2009, first round of chemo in 2012 at Duke Med on a clinical trial stopped because of extreme hemolytic reaction. Chemo infusions again in 2015, worked for a couple of years. Started Ibrutinib in April 2018. Prostate resection in D3cemer 2018.

stopping Ibrutinib
I had to stop Ibrutinib for 7 days prior to an operation to remove a cancer tumor from my bladder and another 7 days after the surgery. Also, in 3 week time I am to start a once a week (for 6 weeks) infusion of BCG directly into my Bladder. BCG is a weakened form of Tuberculosis. This tricks the body

It has been a mixed couple of weeks. Some reasonable and some downright awfull. Had my appointment with the consultant about the histology report from the bladder cancer. It wasn’t very good. Apparently it is G3 PT1 High grade. Need repeat operation ASAP. If bladder is clear I will need BCG treatment
