Evening all. I'm a week past 9th dose of BCG. I have bloodshot red sore eyes. I have read that RA can be a rare side effect of the treatment just wondered if anyone has had heard of experience of it. My GP was non plussed so going to eye clinic tomorrow. If it is caused by the BCG and it doesn't respond to eye drops it may mean the BCG is discontinued. Worst case scenario. Only happened after number 9. Thanks for any views take care all. Andy

Hi Andy,

Sorry to hear about your issue with your eyes. Not heard of or had this myself.

Good luck at the eye clinic, hope you get some answers.

Best to get it checked out, either way.

Hopefully you can carry on with the BCG course.

Keep us posted.

It is a known reaction to BCG, get it checked out. I had a baseline scan and full imaging before treatment as a baseline just in case. My eyes were affected but I have not had a follow up scan, yet.

Thanks Leo, I remember seeing that before but I translated the graphic as the number of single malts you should have with each side effect. That's gone very well and maybe explains my bleary eyes. Current advice is go over the counter and if it doesn't clear go back.

Speyside malts are the best!
