BCG treatment

I am a 78 year old male in good health, been cancer clear for 8 years. I was put onto a BCG programme, first session completed October 2020 with no ill effects and second session March 2021. Since then I have experienced permanent pins and needles in my hands 24/7 and swollen and painful hand joints. Another BCG session is due end of May. Anybody else had this experience and how long did the pins and
needles last?

  1. Thank you Liz.some information for me to digest.
