General Discussion

Palliative care doctor here. It's actually a neat treatment, your body can't tell the BCG apart from the cancer, so it attacks the cancer as well.On average, it's a lot less bothersome than radiation, most of the effects can be described as general vaccination response (i.e. the flu-like symptoms after a covid or shingles shot) and "we messed with your bladder so it'll be angry for a little while" symptoms. They'll givr youna bunch of instructions that make it sound like you're a walking biohazard, it's pretty much theoretical-precautionary, I've never heard of anyone getting cross-infected from a treated patient.
