Question: User Problem title : XXXXXXX selby
have had three treatments of BCG. this med is now on backorder nation wide. Am I likely to be in danger of tumor regrowth if not restarted shortly. If I restart in a month do I need to start all over with 6 more treatments? Is there another Chemo that will do the same job as BCG?
