I arrived at the Urology department expecting my 2nd BCG instillation However, the nurse said I had still had a slight infection and that it was dangerous to go ahead because of the possibility of sepsis. More antibiotics mmmm.I had my first instillation on the 25th of May. Upwards and Onwards. Garviv
Hi Garviv, so sorry to hear that an irritating infection has delayed your BCG treatment. I guess there is a risk of overloading your immune system if they introduce a live bacillus on top. Are you going in again next week? Drink loads and see if you can flush the infection out. Hx
Yes, same time again next week. Thanks for the advice. Garviv
