Hi, If immune therpy is BCG, I am doing that now. First 6 weeks, once a week you get treatment, wait 3 months then you get 3 weeks of treatment ,once a week, wait 3 months and do it again. My Doctor told me only 40% of paients can handle these treatments for 6 years.

I am just finished my 2nd set, and I get a scope of bladder next week to see how everything looks. I have some side affects with this last set and the Doctor lowered my dose.

BCG is a live bacteria that is used for TB vacine. It causes the immune system to go to your bladder to kill the live cells and also the cancer cells in your bladder.I consider the side effects "as no pain no gain". Hey it's better then cancer.

I had two types of cancer in my bladder, both high grade. With surgery they removed them and I was lucky it hadn't invaded my muscle wall.Cancer and sure control your brain. It has changed my life.

Let me know if BCG is what you are getting Good luck.
