Hi all,

I have had my first cycle of BCG treatment and must admit not as bad as anticipated.

I know I am due to have more cycles every 3 months for the first year. My question is has anyone had a planned holiday when they were due to have a cycle and could you postpone the cycle until you returned from holiday.

Many Thanks for any help in advance.

  • Hi Mancmarzy, welcome to the forum and glad you got through your induction without too much trouble. I have found that my CNS has been really helpful. Have they given you dates already ? If not , I would say let them know of your planned holiday as soon as,and see what they say . I suppose the length of time you are away may be a factor, but I am just guessing tbh. Different hospitals, different protocols and individual diagnosis would make it difficult to give accurate information. If you click on my profile , its all there , dates and treatments ,tests and the odd trip. Hope you get something sorted.Take care

    Much love Angela x

  • Hello, pleased your primary BCG instillations went well. I think if you are on holiday for a week the hospital can work round it given sufficient notice. During my BCG treatment I had an UTI infection and missed a weekly BCG instillation. This did not cause any problems just a week’s delay. Have a word with your CNS. Good luck and stay well.
