II can't seem to get a straight answer from our urologist  on BCG chemo washes.  I have read several reports that the drug interferon greatly enhances BCG treatments if added to the second series of treatments.  Can anyone currently taking these treatments please tell me whether or not they contain "interferon" and does it help?  Be most grateful.  Beverly

Jeff we spoke to an oncologist at Moffitt Cancer Clinic in Tampa Florida about our concern that my husband was not getting interferon with his second round of bcg treatments and he advised that according to Moffitt's research it made no appreciable difference in the treatment when added or not added.  We have another appointment tomorrow concerning some anemia issues but a very important meeting on August 10 to schedule another cystoscopy and biopsy to see if cancer has progressed.  Touch base with me again about the l5th of August.  Do you have any information concerning the use of interferon?  Thanks Bev

How about Oncovite? Is that beneficial to take along with BCG treatments?

Jeff, had an appointment with Moffitt Cancer Clinic today but did not get your message until I got home - so I could not have asked the oncologist about Oncovite - our next appointment is August 10 and I will ask them at that time about the "Oncovite" drug.  Have a good day in the Lord!  Beverly  ps  Have you done any research on the web about Oncovite?
