My Mum was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2019, during her check up in Nov 2022, the cancer had progressed so the Drs decided to give to her BCG treatment for 6 weeks.  This started the week before Christmas 2022.... Within a few days of the treatment she started to be sick or feel extremely nauseous & exhausted.  As the months have gone by she's lost lots of weight, developed diabetes, lost her appetite and has been so poorly.  In Feb she had a TIA that's halted any further tests. 

I am now watching my poor Mum wither away.... she's 79, lives alone and has other health issues such as prolapse disc & arthritis.  She's living in constant pain.  It is so hard to witness. I just feel overwhelming sadness.  We seem to be getting nowhere with health professionals about why she still feels so sick & won't eat.  She has a very dry mouth & throat & has been given gels to help.  They now say her liver markers are high so that needs investigating. 

I cried so much yesterday evening after I took her home following a visit.  She slept for hours and wouldn't eat.  My husband is supportive but I feel resentment towards him & his family.  His parents are enjoying a month long Caribbean cruise.  Then I feel guilty for feeling resentment... of course my in laws should enjoy their lives.  I just feel he has no clue about how hard it is to watch a parent start to disappear in front of their eyes.  
 

Has anyone else got experience of BCG treatment & also the ridiculous rollercoaster of emotions that this awful cancer journey has bought to the surface!
