What Causes Tiredness And Shortness Of Breath After Taking BCG For Bladder Cancer?

hello i had to take bcg live bacterium for bladder cancer. i felt ok before the treatments, however, now that they are completed, i feel tired, short of breath when walking up stairs and have constant abdominal pain. I had a cat scan at the e.r. which showed nothing. my question is = could this bacterium gone into my blood stream and become systemic? I have a urologist and an oncologist and nobody is really addressing my symptoms. i did not feel like this before the treatment

No need to worry about that. Your problems and symptoms are not related to the BCG given for bladder cancer. Your ct scan is also normal. Just be relaxed.
