I found my last 18 BCG treatment side effects to be progressive, especially urgency and burning.
My advice is to drink a lot of water following your treatment and the next day. There are also many meds available to assist you with the side effects.
I wish you all the best.

Yesterday had first BCG treatment. Instilled bladder OK, no problems holding solution in for 2 hours, I followed advice of some I had read on-line and did not drink much of anything before Dr. appointment. Then late in the afternoon of same day I got to feeling like I had bad cold headache, aches, sore throat, slight fever. Today, I feel better but still, weak, tired and feel like I just got over a long illness. I was told by my Dr. that the effects are cumulative. Does that mean the effects last longer or that they are more severe?
