BCG Side effects

I am having BCG treatment for bladder cancer. I had it 8 years ago and had no side effects at all but things are different this time. Last week I had my treatment and since then had severe pain when I wee. Also I seem to be weeing all the time. On a night I wake up just about on the hour (or more often) last night I had to rush to the loo eleven times. During the day I have to wee about every half hour - not drops but a proper wee and sometimes cannot get to the loo in time and so I leak. No way can I have my treatment this week as I wouldn't be able to hold the liquid in my bladder for the recommended 2 hours - so a waste of time going. Please has anyone else had these side effects.

Regards

    Jean, I feel for you. I used to be something like that. Always, looking for a toilet, and always, having that urge to pee. It was the worst feeling! My wife, and I went on a trip to the mainland, and we would always have to stop at every rest stop, practically. My bladder, wasn't emptying completely, so it always felt uncomfortable. Now that I cic, things are much better. Maybe, you should try that? Take care, and I wish you much healing!!!
