I have just had another 3 bcg treatment the first one was not to bad but I was up every hour in the night , the second one it was a bit tender having the treatment. I had explained my problems from the first one this time though I was in severe pain afterwards all through Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Monday I had to go to the doctors get some antibiotics to clear it up before my next chemo, which was Thursday but I was unable to continue with Work as I needed to go to the toilet every hour and as a Driving Instructor, it was very difficult third one yes it hurts the incision of the BCG. I was in severe pain when it was time to go to the toilet but it always felt like I needed to go for a number two and I was pushing so hard and I could not straighten up when I got off the toilet I was bent over like an old lady, but I’ve now got 10 weeks rest so let’s hope the next three go a lot better
