third bcg treatment ugh

Thank you all very much. i am feeling a little better today. didn't sleep well, but I think I will take a nap later.

I didn't take any anxiety drugs since the first time so it must be the bcg stuff making me tired. I wasn't nervous at all. I don't like it still but i'm not afraid anymore .

4th one next week. I must find out what the next step is. i think I get another cystoscopy thing later , but can't remember for sure. I will call him and see.
isee on my calenda there is an appointment to see him in September. that must be when he will look again.

Susant - I've just completed my 4th treatment & my a__ is really dragging. I believe that fatigue is a common side effect. Hang in there.

Susan,
My husband had multiple cycles of BCG treatments in 2002. At one point, I don't recall if it was right after a treatment, he felt awful, as if he had the flu, nauseous, etc. His doctors were always wonderful and available throughout this entire cancer journey. I called and spoke to the doctor who then ordered something for the nausea. It is great to be able to put questions out there, but I always believe that your doctor's office is the best resource - contact them. Don't be timid as it is no time to be timid. (At one point we had to step it up, and see another doctor to whom we were referred. Within a week of our visit with this doctor, I called the local doctor and told him it would not work, explained what had taken palce to that point, and asked him to refer us to someone else. He did.)
I hope you will be feeling better today. Do something nice for yourself or have someone do something nice for you. =)

hang in there susan..we're all wishing you the best

I have never had stomach problems, like Rosemary, I just feel zapped the next day. Day of treatment, very uncomfortable and of course, spasms and urgency.
Hang in there, you have three done!

My after effects from BCG was not so much sleepiness but a feeling of being zapped. I never had stomach issues. I bet it's the anti anxiety drug that is causing these issues.....
