Hi all had my flexi today noticed a round red patch,the nurse took a thermal image ( her words ) when it was finished I asked if it was anything to worry about she said no so went to get bloods done the same nurse that done flexi came to me and said I want check you again in December before you start your next treatment (BCG ) normally it’s treatment then flexi also didn’t do a biopsy Thinking anyone got any experience of this sort of thing happening to them ? Thanks in advance 

  • Hi . This comes up regularly on here. It is difficult on visible inspection to differentiate between inflammation and new growths. A follow up flexi up flexi is common to see how things are. BCG can cause this inflammation. Although I had radiotherapy rather than BCG, I have still had a few false alarms over the years because of red patches. The waiting for follow up checks can cause anxiety, but thankfully, on follow up, things had subsided. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.
