Has anyone experienced hair loss with BCG treatments?

I am referred to dermatology also for thinning hair.  I didn't have this problem until I started BCG, but I suppose you could attribute it to age.  My hairdresser does see some growth starting.  I just got it cut and I'm getting extensions while I wait for it to grow.
I am two years cancer free for non-muscle invasive urothelial CA.  BCG is now every 6 mos and at 1/2 dose.

Did you have to wait long for your BCG? I was suppose to start 2 months ago and my Uro keeps telling me there is a shortage and they are tyring to find it for me. I am worried that my tumors are coming back after I had my resection.

I have been having BCG treatments for about 7 years now. I’ve had several recurrences but my side effects to the treatments are very minor and last only a couple of hours. Recently though, I have noticed that my hair is different in texture and is thinning in the front on one side. I had never heard of this as a result of BCG but my hairdresser suggested that might be the case. I see from the posts that others have found the same thing. My next treatments are 6 months away so I will see if there is a change in that period. Anyone else notice changes in their hair?

Hi,
When I started my BCG treatments my hair started falling out. I had very thick hair and now I don’t. I was non muscle invasive BC. I was Ta Papalary High Grade tumor. I have been cancer free for a little over 2 years now. I did 11 treatments and stopped because of the side effects were to much to deal with for me.

You are the only person I heard of hair falling out. Thank you for posting.
