Bcg treatment

Sharonna
Offline

Hi I'm new to the website. I've just turned 48 and had bladder cancer diagnosed last October. I am on week 3 of BCG treatment and hope I can get some advice on how to cope with the pain . Each week has been more painful than the last . I'm finding it hard holding off going to the toilet and when I do go it's literally every 5 minutes and it's agony . All the burning pain is unbearable and I can't sit or lie down for the first two to three hours after treatment. Is there anything I can do to help with the pain . I'd be very grateful for any advice. Thanks

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat, Sharonna.

    I'm sorry to hear that you were diagnosed with bladder cancer last October and that now you are dealing with a lot of pain. 

    I hope that some of our members who can relate to your experience will come along shortly to offer advice but until then I thought I'd send you this page from our website with information on cancer pain and maybe that can help you a little.

    Also, feel free to give our cancer nurses a call if you feel like talking to someone medically trained might help, they're available on this phone number 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

    Wishing you all the best,
