Definitely need to have bathrooms close for at least a full day. I try and have all my BCGs first thing in the morning beginning at 8am. This way I'm pretty mellow by bedtime. Jay

I could have worked during my treatments. The day AFTER, not the day of.
It would depend on what you do....hard physical labor? Probably not. Travel? Maybe not. Would need to have bathroom access in case of some of the urgency and a bit of fatigue...the blahs.
