Bladder cancer returns
I've been on this board since 2017 the same time I learned I had bladder cancer. 4 years, 20 BCG treatments and multiple TURBTS later it is back. For the good of all who suffer, have suffered and will suffer, please concentrate on keeping us alive and well. Thank you.

Sorry to hear of your recurrance. For most here, this is an investment. Reminds us of the human element to this story. Have you investigated if you would meet criteria to be a trial participant?

I've contacted Theralase regarding becoming a trial participant and they said my BCG failure was not recent enough. Perhaps it has changed now.

Gooseybear, I'm praying that they will reassess your recent bout with bladder cancer as now qualifying for the trial. After years of your battle, you deserve what should become the future SOC

Our best to you Gooseybear and hope you can enter into the trial, I wonder if you do enter into this trial would you have to sign an agreement of non-disclosure?

Best of health to you GB...I've been dealing with some medical issues myself, but fortunately I'm on the mend...though slowly. It seems you have exhausted your treatment options...have you asked Theralase if their treatment would be available under the Right to Try Act?

I'll join in with that Cancer Slayer - best wishes on the path forward and keep a watch on some of those alternative cures/drugs. Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease -- went through that assisting my wife in a two year fight. Keep the chin up and forward looking at the positives.

Apparently, Moderna generates an excellent immune response for cancer patients. Just FYI https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1450187178731053065?t=ahONMXwIFPur0yNUGXDexw&s=19
