BCG Vaccine and conceit.

You'll need to ask your consultant/specialist nurse. The BCG itself does not affect hair as far as I know. Had your hair significantly thinned before taking the supplement? 

I’ve been taking VIVISCAL (Nourkin before it got updated) for well over 30 years. I started taking it during my menopause when my hair thinned and became very brittle. It saved the day for me. My hair returned to normal once I started taking the supplement. 

My hair seemed fine, no change through out the three years I was having bcg treatment. 

Hi. Over and above asking about whether the supplement I take for my hair would have any impact on the BCG treatment, as in lessening the effectiveness of the vaccine due to various ingredients in the supplement such as Biotin and horsetail extract, I am also interested to hear from anyone who has been on BCG treatment or is currently on it, to know how the side effects have impacted on them. I am due to start my BCG 6 week first in under 2 weeks. 

Hi, I've had 15 BCG sessions. Hair loss wasn't and as far as I know isn't normally a side effect. In my case the side effects were pretty minor in the scheme of things - some tiredness and short lived urgency. Best of luck 

Thank-you. It is encouraging to know that there are varying degrees when it comes to side effects. I know that the BCG vaccine doesn’t affect hair as does chemo. It’s not having the BCG that is the problem for me, it’s if I have to stop the supplement I have been taking for over 30 years that’s the problem. Without the supplement my hair will thin greatly and become brittle.
 Oncology team are checking up for me. So I will soon know.

I just found the day you have the bcg you start to pee very frequently and you need to drink loads to flush it out and for me this continued the next day so I had a rest day. You can feel bit tired as you don't always sleep that first night due to regular loo trips but that was about it for me, back in work the rest of the week but it was a desk job. As it's only for three weeks twice a year it seemed very manageable. 

I have to have it for 6 weeks but hopefully I will share your experience. Then, I have repeats every 3 months do there are obviously differences according to ? Who knows what. Not me. 
 Thanks for taking the time to reply. Means a lot when people do. And they do.
