Thank you so much for your answer. The word is such a scary word and when I saw the inflammation, Even though I have the utmost confidence in my doctor, the unknown is so.....
A friend suggested to go to this site.
I am glad I went. You brought a ray of sunshine with your answer Even though I have to wait until 19th for bx and 2d for results, you made it a little easier.

Not at all. BCG really can do a number on your bladder lining, and irritation or "BCG-cystitis" is very common. I had to have a biopsy of this, even though my uro was sure it was from the BCG....just to be sure. Took a while to heal.

I just had cysto fu after BCG treatments. There was inflammation at the site which will be biopsies on two weeks. Is this usual after BCG treatment?
