That\'s really a question for your doctor. I think he already answered it though by recommending the wait.

I agree with him 100% about hopping on a boat after treatment. Sepsis can kill you quickly!
You have to be able to get treatment quickly if you get a severe reaction or sepsis.

Hello to everyone,
I got back from fishing a couple weeks ago and just finished my 3rd BCG treatment, now I get another 3-4 month break from them. The news I have to offer is what I have been doing for pain during the catheter insertion...as some may remember, I do have a lot of pain during it so I had been using Tramadol before going in. But it didn\'t cut it some of the time so my primary gave me two Percocet 5/325 to try last week...what a difference! I thought the nurse was just starting when infact she was already in the bladder! The doctor\'s PA gave me a prescription for 4mg Dilaudid to try today to see if that would be better still, it wasn\'t. It was still way better than the Tramadol but not as good as the Percocet.
The reason for trying the different pain meds is to find one for next months Cysto...I really don\'t want to go through the hassle of being put out for it. So next month I will be using a couple of Percocets for the Cysto.

Hi Warren,
glad things are going good for you, and good info on the pain meds, hopefully your experience on what works and what doesn*t might help someone else who is having the same problems. Good to hear from you,
Diane
