Hi all!

I know people have had far worse after effects than me! But I seem to have a kind of random shooting pain sometimes (in urethra I think) and it's happened between the first and 2nd Bcg treatment but obv was slightly worse after the second. I otherwise seem pretty okay. Anyone else experienced this? Many thanks, Xxx

  • Hello Julia194, My consultant told me that the BCG bacteria is designed to make your bladder angry to begin the process of attacking the cancer meanies in your bladder. If it gets unbearable ring the urology department. How all goes well soon. Garviv
