  My husband finished 6 weeks of BCG about 6 weeks ago. He runs a low grade fever every afternoon and within the past week has began having night sweats so bad that he sleeps with a towel underneath his head. Is this common AFTER the treatments?

  Welcome to the forum. While the symptoms and problems you describe such as low grade temperatures are common, they usually subside after a few days or maybe a week or two. I would certainly be in contact with your URO to knock this out. 6 weeks is too long.
