Hi Kay. Effects of BCG vary from person to person. All types of treatment can knock you for six, but usually gradually gets better, BCG can be an effective treatment for BC and we have many success stories here. Hope fully others will be along to share experiences. Best wishes.
Hi Kay,
Welcome to this friendly forum, but sorry to hear about you feeling tired and fatigued after your BCG course.
I do feel tired also after my BCGs, mainly because I'm up during the night with loo breaks.
It's can also be quite mentally draining,having so much going on during the first year for sure.
Thankfully you've done 12 now, so your next instillation will be in 6 Months instead of the 3 months. So a bit more time to recover.
It's tough going for sure, but it's great news to hear they've been successful for you.
Hope the fatigue improves for you soon.
Take care.
Trevor
