hi im new to this and don't know my way round yet I start my treatment tomorrow and really scared it BCG for 6 weeks has anyone had the same and can tell me what to expect thank you

  • Hi  and welcome to the community, although sorry you find yourself here. There are many of us here who have had various treatments for bladder cancer and come through it. The early days of uncertainty and not knowing can be the worst. If you are going on to have BCG, I assume you must have already had an operation (TURBT) to remove what they can. Where you given a stage and grade ? Although I have not had BCG myself, I know it affects people in different ways. Some people have some nasty side effects, others sail trough it with no problems, but most people seem to be somewhere in the middle with mild discomfort. I am sure others will be along to offer their experiences. If you need to know anything or to just talk, click on the reply button below. There is always somebody here to help. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.
