Hi, so I haven't posted for a while. I'm female and in May this year I had my 10th BCG treatment. I'd had Ta G2 for a couple of years then a couple of patches of CIS one time. Last three scopes have been clear thankfully. The recovery time has been getting longer after each BCG which is to be expected but this time it's 4 months and I'm still have symptoms of burning when peeing and a new symptom has appeared.
This will be a question for the ladies as I have been having pinching, stabbing pain up in the vagina or perhaps the bladder neck? Its been so bad its been difficult to walk sometimes.Also I'm experiencing random pains all over the pelvis, together with urge incontinence. It's been awful! My Uro nurse knows about it and I'm waiting on physio and seering a uro gynocologist.
If anyone has had anything similar it would be great if you could let me know.
Thanks.
Jan.
So sad and for a long time nobody knew how bad smoking was. I had asthma and it can't can't have helped. Funny how many people I knew who had asthma and smoked as well.
And if you watch old films it's amazing how characters are all lighting up at the drop of a hat. One forgets all of that.
