Doug,
Do you know if and when the series of six BCG treatments are done and all goes well, is that the end of the BCG's?

Since you haven't started your BCG yet, why don't you give them a call and ask if it would be possible to have the BCG on Fridays?

Dgarlick,

When I was getting BCG treatments, I had them as late in the day on Fridays as I could. Then I would have the weekend to feel better for work on Monday.

Hi Joey Patrica and Bambi!!
I am new to the forum, had a TUR last Thursday and start BCG (series of 6 June 6th). Two low-grade non-invasive tumors removed and am so apprehensive about the BCG treatments, that they will cause me to not be able to work up to par. Would appreciate all your input!!! Thanks....dgarlick

Hi!!
I am new to forum, had a TUR last Thursday, start BCG treatments (series of 6 - June 13th). So apprehensive that I will not be able to work up to par on the job. Any encouragement and suggestions would be wonderful. Had two, low-grade non-invasive tumors, found after a horrible UTI.
