Treatment for side affects of bcg
Hi again NIPPER49 . Sorry if you are having issues with the BCG treatment. Lots of people here have experience of BCG so it may help if you post a bit more information so people can help. Best wishes.
My husband had bcg treatment for 7th time came out the room said the nurse had hurt him became very ill and was back in hospital within 2 hours had sepsis shock .we read that he should be treated as if tb was present but did not receive it and died 6 weeks later in icu .he was on life support through all that time .Just wondered if anyone had a similar experience
Hi NIPPER49,
Just to echo what rily has said, I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. Please know that Macmillan and the Online Community are here for you whenever you need us.
I have sent you an email with some further support information. I can recommend calling our Macmillan Support Line for help with raising a concern about your husband's treatment, as well as getting practical and emotional support for yourself.
If you think it might be helpful to talk with other Community members who have experienced a similar loss to your own, I can also recommend joining our Bereaved spouses and partners forum. It is full of very kind and supportive Community members.
Please do keep in touch, NIPPER49. It's what we're all here for.
Everything I read on line says when this happens they should administer drugs against tb ASAP because results from tests can be negative. They didnt do this they didnt give him that chance . I will take it further .There other things that we as a family are not happy about .thank you for your answer
