Hi, This is for AnneH - just read your post where you said you take Ibuprofen before and after instillation of the BCG-was that recommended by your doctor? if not, please ask your urologist if it is ok - I read somewhere that you should NOT take any antiinflammatory drugs during treatment as A) sme can mask the effects of a posible fever developing B)By having BCG what you are trying to acheive is to initiate inflamation against the cáncer cells, and C) some anti inflammatory drugs can increase the side effects of bleeding.
It is important that only drugs which are compatible with treatment should be taken, and this should checked with your medical team. There are drugs available which specifically treat urinary pain. I am not a doctor, and perhaps I am wrong and ibuprofen is perfectly ok, but I would doublé check on that.
