Hey everyone!

BCG is known as the 'gold standard" for early-stage, non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer treatment.

In this episode, I discuss BCG treatment for bladder cancer... What it is; how it works as immunotherapy; its advantages and sometimes side effects, as well as my own experience in receiving BCG treatments and what to expect. You'll learn what I've learned about shortages of BCG and potential alternative treatments that are available.

If your doctor has recommended BCG, you'll definitely want to take a listen to this episode!

Wishing wellness for us all,

Cindy
