BCG & Methotrexate

Hi Mugwump. Sorry to hear the Mitomycin was not effective. Hopefully the BCG will do a better job. As regards the MTX, and the reaction with BCG, then I think you need to be guided by the medics, making sure they all know about the medications. While waiting for answers, it might be a good idea to post your concerns in the Ask a Nurse section where you should get professional advice. Best wishes.

Thank you. I have posted in there now. I realise Covid has changed things but I was supposed to get the results in 2 weeks but 6 weeks down the line I haven't heard a thing. 

I realise covid may delay treatment but knowing the results and what is planned would be a real help psychologically rather than not knowing

I've now got a consultants phone appointment on Wednesday so we'll see what he says.

I'm just worried about what it will be as Methotrexate puts a massive curve ball into the whole game.

Hi,I do hope your consultant can help.It is always difficult when one health problem/treatment impacts on another.best wishes for Wednesday.love Jane

Even though they were aware of my Methotrexate they didn't think to involve Dermatology in the MDT decision making.

So we have the situation where they have decided to give me BCG but now need to talk to Dermatology to find out if there is an alternate medication that I can be put on.

I hate to tell them but every medication at that level has a severe interaction with BCG and topical steriods won't touch it.

But we will just have to wait and see what they come up with
