Starting tomorrow, BCG induction course.  But apprehensive, have to say, feel like I am stepping into the unknown.  Be glad when first day is done.  Today I am getting certain things sorted.  Totally alone in this journey, ninety year old mother refuses to accept the reality so it's ducking and diving around her when phone calls and letters come through... appointments are frustrating as she complains 'not another one'.  It all takes too much time, interrupts her flow of life and let's not talk about it... basically her attitude throughout life.  Find it soulless as she doesn't talk all day, I can only go out for so many walks, money is tight and I get tired as she had me back in harness the moment she could...that's basically why she wants me here is to work...I am dreading the side effects because she will still expect me to do work around the place, she'll serve up food I cannot eat, that's her way, anything that causes another round of conflict and issues which I am growing terribly weary of.  Hoping all goes smoothly so I can get by without too much problems with her.  Roll on tomorrow, let's get started and get through it.

  • Hi  . Sounds as though you have a lot going on with your mother which can't help with the stress of starting a new treatment. Not had this myself but hoping it all goes well for you. I am sure others will be along with some advice. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.

  • Good luck,I’m sorry you are having so much stress with your mother.Love Jane xx

  • Hi,

    I'm so sorry you are going through this and having to deal with the challenges of your mother. I had this treatment last year - I was also dreading it. But I literally felt sleepy on the eve of it and that was it. It didn't have this huge fall out. I don't know your personal circumstances but you need to prioritise your own health as much as you can. But as to the effects -I most definitely pretty much felt okay throughout. Take care, lots of love to you, x
