SaraAnne--
I also recently had an experience with BCG running out,which my uro thinks may have been due to defective tubing. I knew the catheter was all the way in, and the instillation had just started when I felt it running out, so only about 1/4 or less of the BCG had been used. The nurse who was doing the instillation (my 5th in the 6-week series)felt terrible and went to got the Dr. right away, but first cleaned me up really well, and also inserted a betadine swab in my female "lower regions," which the Dr. had told her to in a case such as this. The Dr. said it was OK to do a full instillation after this, which he did, as not much had been used in the first batch, and it seems as though most ran out. The nurse called me later in the afternoon to check up on me, as she said she'd worry about me all weekend otherwise. I had no ill effects at all from this episode, though did wash up again when I got home to be on the safe side.
I have my next cysto at the end of Oct., then 3 weeks maintenance starting in early Dec. Hope I steer clear of the symptoms you had!
Please let me know what you find out about flu shot timing.
