Hi There
I had stage 2 bladder cancer. I have had 3 operations, over a 3 year period, followed by 6 weekly BCG treatments after each operation, in fact after the last operation I had the 6 weekly treatments, followed by 12 monthly treatments of BCG.
Since I started the monthly BCG treatments I have had no tumors reappear.
I am now 1 year cancer free!
I understand what your husband is going through with the pain in the bladder and the pain and buring while urinating.
I go through 3-4 days of this pain and burning after each BCG treatment.
Since my Doc put me on medications following each treatment, the pain and buring is far less, but still there. I also was suffering from many bladder infections, but they have disappeared since I started the medications 6 months ago.
My Doc (Uroglist) told me that the pain and buring are normal, and that I should be thankful that I get this, as it proves that the BCG is working.
You are wise to keep in contact with your Doc about the pain and buring.
Ask him about the meds taht are available for the burning and for infections, trust me the meds work.
I hope I have helped you some.
Regards,
Jack Moon
