BCG IRRATIONAL FEAR

So sorry to hear you are having this panic Angela. Why don't you ring the Macmillan helpline for some reassurance? Also, wouldn't your family be safe anyway if they have had the routine BCG vaccination themselves? For what it's worth my OH is frankly useless at things like cleaning routines and I never had any issue from sharing the loo with him through the 6 BCG he had before switching to Mitomycin.

1. Hi Angela, you're not alone over this concern.

Have plenty of bleach ready, I use strong bleach after each wee. Leave it for 15 mins before flushing each time. I do seem to over do this a bit and the house ends up smelling like a swimming pool.

I've not really looked into the consequences of coming into contact,  but I'm as careful as I can be during the first 6 hours.

I hope the BCG treatment goes well for you and I'm sure you'll soon get into a routine which will address your concerns.

Good luck 

Hi Denby, lol my OH likewise with cleaning ! I hate bleach full stop , i dont think that is helping my thinking either. i know I am being abit OTT, will probably settle after the first session I hope. Thanks again, this is why I love this forum, I dont feel alone with my worries. Gid bless xx

My fat fingers lol! God bless xx

Hi BFG , thanks for replying. I think you are right about not looking into the consequences, I am over thinking it all!! Being careful is all I should aim for ( in my thoughts i am disinfecting the whole bathroom each time i pee, which is OTT) . Thanks for your wisdom, much love Angela x
