I’ve now had my 12 BCG treatment. I’m 48 and female working full time in a high stress job with two young daughters on spectrum. I also started menopause treatment at 35 and I’m struggling with complete fatigue.
i had a pause in the initial 6 weeks treatment as I found it hard to cope. Every treatment I have seems to wipe me out. When I read other people’s experiences of a couple of days feeling rubbish I feel quite envious.
is their anyone else out there struggling with BCG. I just start to feel better around the four month mark then dread picking anything else up in my life because I know the treatment will start again.
im wishing you all the best with your treatments

Thank you, I think just writing it all down helps. Just looking at the amount of things going on in my life lol.
i don’t want to put all my symptoms down to cancer as it’s probably loads of factors. I came home today and slept until now
. I also had my covid and flu jab the week after BCG so it’s probably that as well.
I am hopeful that I can rest this weekend as the girls going to visit their father 
️. The cleaning can wait 
Hi Pegasus,
Sorry to hear your having a rather hard time of it but don't beat yourself up, it sounds like you have a lot going on all the same time.
I think most cases of operations and treatment can vary very wildy from one person to another.
As I've posted before I had a 1cm tumour and after my turbt with a stent as well I was in agony a lot of the time. Same with the cystocopy I just cannot handle the pain and discomfort. Some can and I've read peoples stories on here with far worse symptoms than mine and didn't seem to suffer from they say like I did.
Whilst very similar in a lot of ways it seems there is no one size fits all for this type of treatment or operations as far as I have been able to gather. Also therr often isn't enough information given to you if you don't know what to expect at least in my case.
Wishing you best and hope things get better for you.

I also hate autocorrect and hope people can make sense out of my posts when it changes half the words I type.
Hi Pegasus . I had a different treatment but did suffer from tiredness and fatigue. My GP prescribed minor steroids which gave me a boost and more energy. So maybe trying to get a GP appointment. Also if you can get to see a GP it may be worthwhile asking for a blood test. Low white blood counts can can also cause fatigue. My bloods showed anaemia which was remedied with a few injections. Best wishes.
