BCG treatment for Bladder Cancer

Hi everyone I'm so glad I came across this chat site. I have just finished my 9th treatment of BCG and I too have found that the side affects are lasting longer, the urge to pee and the pain seems to be increasing. Infact I having been dreading going for treatment and I'm glad of these few months of rest bite and reading some of these posts it doesn't seem to get many better. I'm really dreading them but I know I'll carry on with them. Thank you for listening.

  • Hello Astra22 and welcome to the forum. 

    I'm glad to hear that you've found some comfort in reading through posts from others who have had BCG treatment for bladder cancer. I know from also reading those posts that the symptoms you've described are not uncommon and I do hope that it's given you some small reassurance to know that you're not alone. 

    Keep talking to your specialist nurse about the symptoms you're experiencing and I'm sure they will do their best to support you. If you'd like to have a chat with one of our team of nurses then you're welcome to give them a call. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope that things settle and improve for you. 

    Best wishes,
