Hello I have been diagnosed with Non Muscle invasive BC and am starting BCG today first of six, feeling slightly unsure of how I an going to feel after ?
welcome to this lovely group. I’m sure you will get lots of advice from more experienced people but what I’ve learned is that some people have very few symptoms after BCG and others have some tiredness and stinging when they pee. For me I found the waiting for two hours after the treatment was hard so I tended not to rush home and waked rather than got the bus. After the two hours the bleaching cleaning regime kept me busy and then on the advice of others I drank a huge amount of lemon barley water. Which I feel really helped. Good luck and I hope you are in the group who have few symptoms! Sending warm wishes joyce
Morning Drew and welcome to the BCG club. I remember feeling the same at my first and I have just finished number 21 ! I agree with everything Joyce has said. It is a routine you will get used to . If you click on my name I have recorded my reactions in my profile, I have found it useful to be able to look back at how i have reacted with each one. The very best of luck, stick with the club Drew, the folk on here are really lovely and supportive. Take care
Morning Drew, I had 15 BCG instillations and from a male perspective the actual procedure is quick and painless. The after effects for me were minimal. I agree wholeheartedly with the commeyfrom Joyce and Halofan. Good luck.
