Hi all, my husband of 81 will go for his first ever BCG tomorrow and all i read on here is how bad the treatment is. Is there anyone out there that hasnt had any really bad side effects. Need to know what to expect from y poor hubby. 

Thanks from Renny

 

 

 

 

  • Hello Renny

    I just wanted to post a quick reply to wish you and your husband well for his first treatment today. 

    From posts that I've read here on the forum, the side effects seem to be cumulative the more sessions each person has so hopefully your husband won't have too many issues to deal with after this first session. 

    However, if you're at all worried or if he is struggling then do get in touch with his specialist nurse or the Consultant as they may be able to help ease or treat the side effects. 

    Keep in touch Renny and let us know how you both get on. 

    Best wishes,
