My father was given BCG for bladder cancer. Within 20 mins of leaving the Dr's office he had severe chills. From that day on his condition has continued to decline; High fever 104, no appetite, chills, lathargic, weight loss all within within a month. He is now in the hospital and under the care of an infectious disease doctor. Many test have been given, but still no answers yet . The doctors are not sure if it was BCG exposure or somthing else. Anybody out there experience something similiar? Thanks
