Bcg

Certainly is Caxton. Maybe check out electro-magnetic frequency [emf] pollution. Anyway it sounds as though he has a lifestyle that will help him deal with it as well as possible.

Hi,

I was diagnosed with Carcinoma in Situ in April 2019, starting my BCG treatment in May 2019.  I have never smoked or worked in the chemical industry, so the only likely cause was being male.  I had 6 initial treatments followed by another 3 treatments every 6 months for the full 3 year program, a total of 24 treatments.  My treatments would take place at 13:00 on a Wednesday,  I would then be driven home to lie on the sofa for the remainder of the 2 hour timeframe.  There were only a couple of occasions when i was unable to hold the treatment in for the 2 full hours.  To manage the pain I used codeine and ibruprofen, and drank plenty of water.. In order to help pass the expected blood clots, I found that drinking water whilst sat on the toilet, and the gulping process it created,  helped pass the clots a bit easier.  It definitely wasn't pain free, but was manageable.I continued to work throughout my treatment, often starting to work again on the Thursday morning.  I am also a keen runner and cyclist, and was able to continue my exercise by the weekend.  I hope your treatment is successful, and best wishes for the future.

Thanks for your supportive replies Denby.

Thanks Ian, 

I'll pass on all your helpful advice to my husband, it was really appreciated. Also interesting how you are also a non-smoker too!

I hope the treatment worked for you and you are enjoying your exercise.

Best wishes
