I'd like some advice and info from anyone who can help. My father was diagnosed with Bladder Cancer in November. Lives in Holland so it's difficult to get answers to my questions. First TURBT was in December all went okay, another 4 weeks later to check for scarring etc. Then the BCG Treatment started, 6 week course. The first 3 were fine and then he started getting really sick with the treatment. Vomitting, high fever, weakness, loss of appetite. He was given antibiotics but same thing happened on the 4th and 5th treatment. By the 6th treatment he was so sick he was not able to dress himself as his been so weak. He was taken to A&E and had a seizure in the waiting room, stayed one night was given more antibiotics and fluids and then sent home. They said they won't be continuing with the BCG but won't know the options until we get some results in a months time but his in such a bad way. Struggling to walk with joint pain, very down and depressed as he needs so much help and support with simple tasks. Is this normal after BCG? How long will he be feeling like this? Has anyone had a similar experience? What other treatments have you had and were they successful. Sorry for so many questions, I just don't want him to suffer anymore.
