Greetings all. First I want to thank everyone for sharing their journey here, and for their suggestions. I have finished my second TURBT, and am scheduled for my first (of six) BCG treatments in two weeks. My concern at this point is the side effects of this treatment. My research tells me that they vary wildly, and usually get more severe in later treatments. One poster here mentioned taking Buscopan for cramps and contractions and then Panadol Osteo for pain after. Is anyone else familiar with these drugs? Thanks!

@dks2500 I start BCG treatments next Thursday. I’m wishing you the best and will keep you in prayer. Looks like it’s gonna be a long journey. May God be with you and your family best wishes.

@dks2500 I am having my 2nd TURBT? to make sure not in bladder muscle 7/20. Had a tumor removed 2 weeks ago. Pathology states not in muscle but I guess this is part of the protocol. If they decide on BCG I will also be getting immunotherapy IV once a month for a year. God bless you. Very strong prayers sent to you.
