BCG

Hi Derby74,It’s good to know you are being well looked after but I’m sorry to hear about your side effects.Perhaps others here will have some ideas on how to get through this treatment.I only had surgery so not any help to you.Best wishes Jane x

Hello Derby74, BCG affects people in different ways. Some people can tolerate it all whilst others sail through the treatment. I had 15 infusions of BCG which I tolerated quite well. Drink plenty of water after your treatment and rest when your body tells you. Keep well Garviv

Hi Derby74 , I had number 13 BCG yesterday and have the same side effects. Today I just feel very lethargic and tired, tenderness has passed, it usually lasts till friday morning for me . hope it eases for you , take care xx

Hi Derby

If there is one thing I have learned on this friendly, helpful chat forum is that we all seem share things in common but also it's not unusual to have different responses to BCG. I have had twelve sessions and some have been easier than others. I am not one of those that have sailed through and although unpleasant at time, I have tolerated it reasonably well. There were occasions when I felt absolutely drained and exhausted for days after some sessions and less so at other times. If you are feeling very tired then you are doing the right thing to just go to bed and sleep. 

Hope you are feeling stronger soon

take care

Frank
