| Subject: | BCG Installation And side effects |
My father has just been diagnosed with bladder cancer and he's been getting treatment with BCG.
But the side effects of BCG is taking it's toll. The severe burning sensation and unable to hold urine,
After consulting the doc he gave some medications bit to no avail it is not helping him.
How many days such burning effects last and what is the solutions to neutralise the burning effects?
Please this is a matter of urgency.

Hi Kaziba,
Glad to hear that the symptoms are subsiding. You ask a good question. You may want to contact your nurse or physician to address the pain medication question.
