Seems a long time since I was on here. Had my 12th instillation today. I've had the flu like side effects after previous ones and the fatigue and I'm told I can go a bit vague (that might due to the fatigue) but today hugely cramping stomach and loose bowels. Is this a side effect or simply coincidental?
Cheers.
Hi Dragonfire . Good to hear from you again. I hope you are otherwise ok. Not experienced this myself but have been on here long enough to know there are many various side effects brought on by BCG. Always best to check with the medics when something new happens. Best wishes.
