I have recently been diagnosed with non invasive, non muscle Bladder Cancer, which was removed in October. My first BCG treatment was on the 25th January 2021, which went well with no adverse effects. I was wondering, if the more BCG sessions you have the side effects will be increased. Does anyone have experience of BCG treatment?
much appreciated
Hello B2B and welcome to the group, although sorry to hear you have been diagnosed with bladder cancer. I'm sure you will get lots of help and support here. I did not go the BCG route, but being on here for some time, I believe it is difficult to predict how things will go as you move forward. Some people seem to sail through BCG while others have a build up of side effects. I am sure others will be along to share experiences. Best wishes.
