Hello

I am asking on behalf of someone who is nearly 75 Male.

Diagnosed with Bladder cancer last year - five rounds of BCG - Extemely pain for several months.

Prescribed Anti TB medicine for the last six months.

Patient is suffering from a lot of pain both bladder and unable to walk for several months; I think induced by TB medicine as well as Bladder problems. 

Constantly seeing different set of professionals - Urologists + Neurologist + TB Doctors

I am just want to reach out to others to see if you or anyone you know who had similar problems. 

Thank you

  • I'm very sorry to hear about the difficulties your friend has been experiencing ID924854.

    This must be very difficult for you both, especially when there doesn't seem to be much consistency with the medical team he is seeing, but I really do hope they are able to get to the bottom of this soon and make these symptoms much easier to manage.

    Hopefully you will hear back from some of our members who have been in a similar position soon but in the meantime, if you'd like to discuss any of this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    We're thinking of you both at this testing time.

    Kind regards,
