Long term effect of BCG treatment

When I was in neo training, I got free supplies, but limited to 4 pads per 24 hours - certainly not enough! If you do decide to buy any, get them from an incontinence supplier online - more brands available, cheaper than Tena. I use ageukincontince.co.uk as I still need to use a light pad at night. 

Appreciate the heads up, thank you.

Yes the ageuk suppliers are the cheapest deal I could find. You get discount for a subscription and can still defer next delivery if you have not used them as fast as you thought.

Thanyou for the advice.

Mostly during night time my bladder locks and am unable to wee, this may go on for a few minutes upto about twenty minutes, it's extremely painful during those periods but does eventually clear. Remains painful for a while. I am sure you all suffer the same thing but I wondered how you deal with it. Oncology nurse claims it is bladder spasm. 

Yes I do suffer that some nights, the pain can be quite excruciating. I pace around downstairs, it does take awhile sometimes to release it, mostly happens at night and I also usually get an afterburn from it. 

Overnight I thought I'd have a couple of glasses of water to try and head off my pain I suffer when I get up. I know they don't recommend it because it disturbs your sleep which is disturbed anyway. It did work this morning, the pain was more bearable so much so we went shopping this morning, it was still uncomfortable but I felt I actually achieved something.

Have a question for anyone who may be interested.

My first blog I mentioned the medication given me by my consultant. I also am on Tamsulosin and Finasteride so a grand total of five items for bladder problems. What other medication are sufferers on? Would love to know.

Thanks

Can I ask do you find any of these drugs help? I'd be interested if they do.

I have been on these since Monday 21st when I had a private visit to a consultant - the answer is no, nothing has changed. Will let you know of any progress 

Mind you it usually takes a few weeks for any tablets to take effect so hopefully they will give you some improvement over time.
