Hello folks, I've just joined the group on behalf of my elderly father who is currently undergoing his first series of BCG treatment having being diagnosed last year.
I've had some questions milling around in my head for a little while now, and having looked through the posts I have already found answers, so I thank you for these, my mind is eased considerably knowing we are not alone.
I'm watching with interest the question regarding when my dad will be able to have his covid vaccination, as due to his age he has already been called for his vaccination, but we have put if off until after the completion of his BCG which is next Tuesday. Speaking with his Nurse today, it seems there is no real guidance being given nationally around when he can have the vaccine, but it is suggested I book him in for a week after his BCG on Tuesday. It will be a huge relief to get my dad vaccinated, as navigating cancer during covid is definitely a challenge we didn't see coming, so it will enable us to get through any further procedures/treatment for the cancer.
Keep safe everyone and good wishes for your treatments.
Hi popcan and a warm welcome to the group. Great to see you here supporting your father. Still a bit of a grey area regarding BCG and vaccinations but hopefully your father can get his. I hope all goes well with his treatment. Lots of varying experiences here, so usually someone will have an answer for any questions you may have. Best wishes.
