BCG Side Effects: What's your experience?

Posted by rjlpool502 @rjlpool502, Jul 17, 2024

Had BCG treatments just over a month ago and had a few side effects I wanted to let others know about. Posted before about extreme fatigue. Two hour naps, go to bed early and get up late. Did not hit me until after my 6th treatment. For about two weeks after that last treatment had some other issues also. I have Acid Reflex Disease, some arthritis and IBS. All three acted up very badly after sixth treatment. My medicines seemed to stop working for the acid reflex and my arthritis was worst ever. The IBS was bad too. Worst seemed to clear up over next two weeks. Just a heads up.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bladder Cancer Support Group.

Thanks. Good to know while trying to coordinate treatments while still working full time. 3 more weeks until I start.
