Painful tingling
Hi Rob,
Could only tolerate 7 treatments. cysto every 3 months for 2 years and then
every 6 months. I was miserable during the treatments. Unrelenting stomach
pain. If you can't tolerate the rest see what your options are.
Wishing you the very best.
i would like to know what Urologist says- never had any side effects from BCG
My husband was only able to have one BCG as was so ill after...still in remission 3 years on.But we are all different and you must do what is right for you.
i am wondering if these illnesses and symptoms of others using BCG are somatic....I have had plenty of BCG infusions over the past 6 yrs and never had any!
