Hi, I was just diagnosed with cidp after being misdiagnosed for a number of years. However, the cidp developed shortly after I was treated with immunotherapy for cancer, specifically intravesical BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin). Has anyone been treated with intravesical BCG for bladder cancer and later developed cidp? I was also treated with chemotherapy but to my knowledge, it has not been associated with neuropathy (intravesical mitomycin-C). I don’t know if BCG and cidp are related but I do have my suspicions. I would be interested to hear if anyone had a similar situation. I have no underlying health problems, do not drink, have never smoked, and am not overweight. In short, other than being a cancer survivor (4 times), I am healthy.
Thanks.
Jo
