Hello this is Ratna I am 27 years old and I am diagnosed at tumor last year that is March 8 2022 after TURB T, doctor advised BCG treatment biopsy report States that it's a high grade tumor
initially 4 BCG went well but after 5th BCG went something wrong heavy side effects started like frequent urination heavy pains in bladder pelvic region and rectum after 40 days of high dose antibiotics side effects subsided
After 2 months again monthly BCG started first one went very well but second BCG was a nightmare it's been nearly 10 months heavy side effects started. What is irony is unable to sit sleep 24/7 only standing position even doctor shocked for quiet long period
We underwent number of antibiotics TB tablets hydro dystention and even Botox injection still nothing changed
It's much more worse than the earlier side effects still no hope of relieving the side effects don't know what to do
Is this kind of BCG side effects common for quite long period?
Don't know what to do?
Hi Sonu and welcome to the group. We see many varying side effects of BCG treatment here, but you seem to be suffering more than most. I hope someone here with similar effects will be along to help and hopefully your doctors may come up with something. Best wishes.
