Husband has had a major skin reaction to BCG 2 weeks after finishing treatment. Has anyone else had this?

My husband has had 6 weeks of BCG and is waiting for his next cystoscopy. He has had a major skin reaction to the BCG. This came 2 weeks after he had finished his treatment. Anyone have any issues or experience. 

  • A very warm welcome to the Cancer Chat forum Nennanoonoo, although I'm sorry to hear about the reaction your husband has had to his BCG treatment.

    I hope he is doing better since you made this post but if you haven't done so already, make sure you let his medical team know what has happened as soon possible so they can help you look after him.

    Hopefully you will hear back from some of our members who have been in a similar situation soon but if you'd like to speak to one of our cancer nurses about this, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to help.

    I hope your husband doesn't have to wait too long for his cystoscopy Nennanoonoo and that he doesn't have any more severe reactions to treatment.

    Kind regards,
