Hi, My name is Wayne,
I received my 6th BCG treatment last Wed. I was told I would have 6 weekly then once per month for 12 months.
Right after the nurse put the BCG into my bladder the 6th time she tells me the doctor said he was stopping the treatment.
He was not in office that day, so I called the next day and asked his main nurse why did he stop the treatment.
She said to me that since I was having joint and muscle aches for about 3 days after each treatment and needed to take narcotics for the pain it was too dangerous.
I was not too happy, I want to fight this! I wanted to go through all the treatments...its much better than surgeries!
Anyone on here know why he would stop the treatments? Is it really that bad that he needed to stop? Should I go for a second advise? I am a fighter, and I was willing to take some pain and tiredness to slow the recurrences of the bladder tumors.
I am really nervous about this...anyone have any advise please?
Thank you.
PS I live in Ohio.
