Hi. Ive just joined the forum and finding my way around, so hello. I’m just about to have my 4th BCG instillation following 2 biopsies and a TURBT. I was diagnosed with bladder non muscle invasive high risk carcinoma in situ and initially underwent Mitomycin treatment. Apparently the tumour is now gone and the BCG is by way of an insurance due to themhigh chance of it returning.
My dilemma is that I am having side effects in the form of one or two aching joints and wonder if this is reactive arthritis? I am keen to continue with the full 6 weeks course but think that if I mention the side effects my treatment might be stopped or delayed. Have others been faced with this dilemma, and if so, what did you do?
I am assuming that the aches and pains will stop once the treatment is completed, or is there a risk of permanent damage? I would value any comments. Thank you.
