Dear Karnak,
Patience is a must. Add to that no two BC journeys will be alike. From some readings, I thought my husband (also CIS) would be bedridden for days after his BCG treatments with extreme fatigue and other symptoms.
After each treatment, he experienced burning when voiding for about 24 hours. Once during the 3 maintenance BCG cycles, he had a slight temperature overnight with some visible blood/blood clots.
The biopsy after the first 6 BCG's was benign and he had a scope exam after the 3 maintenance BCG's. Something's there and a follow up biopsy is scheduled for 01-06-16.
So, yes, patience is a must.
