BCG treatment
I had my first BCG treatment last Wednesday. The only problem I have had so far is feeling tired all the time. I go for my second one this coming Wednesday when I am expecting to have more side effects. Hopefully if I do get more side effects they will not be too bad.
thanks for sharing your initial experience. Hope the next one goes well on Wednesday. Hope you manage plenty of rest before that. Laura, Moderator, BladdetCancer.net did you have to get at TB test before first treatment? Asking for my dad who was supposed to get first treatment today but office would start because they never told him about TB test. @Linda G, @Msommer - I am wondering if different doctors have different protocol and some do require this prior to the BCG and others may not. It may be that the doctor wants to confirm a negative test prior to the treatment. I might ask why this is being required if you are questioning the need and time required prior to treatment. Good luck to you all. Linda Urbanski ( moderator, Bladdercancer.net team member)
Hi there, no I didn't need to have a TB test.
@Linda G. I have not personally had BCG but have read from many people that fatigue is common. You may find that you are one of those people who do not have more side effects and sail through this. Sending good vibes your way. Please keep us posted on how things go. My best Linda Urbanski ( moderator, Bladdercancer.net team member)
