BCG - It was worth the wait! After 4 years and nine surgeries, I finally had my first-ever CLEAR cystoscopy after receiving Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) treatments!

Hey everyone,

I'm sharing some very positive news in this podcast! After 4 1/2 years with multiple recurrences and 9 TURBT surgeries, I finally started on BCG.

In this podcast, I'll explain why there was a delay with this important treatment and what my experience has been since starting it last fall.

If you're on the fence about beginning BCG treatments, you'll want to hear about my personal experience in this podcast. I also discuss blue light cystoscopy and how it's not only becoming a standard of care among many urologists, but an absolute necessity in my book for those with multiple tumor recurrence or carcinoma in situ.

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we learn from each other and travel this journey together!

Wishing wellness for us all,

Cindy
