Hi, I’ve had 3 doses of BCG I’m suffering from kidney pain, my nurse tested my urine and there was a lot of white blood cells in it, the nurse seems to think it’s ok and that it’s a sign something is going on, I’ve not been given any antibiotics, has anyone else had this experience? The pain in my kidney is really bad x
Hi Julie I had 6 induction bcg treatments ended in april then I had rigid cystoscopy on July 13th thankfully all clear I have my next 3 treatments starting August 18th,25th and September 1st .. I got on with the treatments ok usually had mine early morning and had discomfort for about 6 hours .. I drank at least 2 litres of water and to be truthful I have kept doing this every day ..I was diagnosed with cis which is high grade ... I have to have cystoscopy every 3 months so this is going to be a long journey but hopefully it will keep things under control xx I'm trying my best to keep a positive attitude and reading the comments on here have helped and so many tell their personal stories willingly giving many others encouragement take care love Tina xx
Hi Tina, thank you, it’s very reassuring listening to people that are going through the same thing, don’t get me wrong my family have been great but they don’t understand as much as people on here do, the advice you get is great.
I was diagnosed in May started BCG July have a turbt in September, then camera October then start BCG again mid October x I’m trying to be positive and have been I’ve felt really well up until yesterday, now the reality that I have cancer has hit, I have TA grade , thanks for being there Tina x I wish you all the best with the rest of your treatment x
