    One week down, many more to go. I had my first BCG treatment last Tuesday. Tomorrow is my 2nd. Thankfully, the week went well. My only side effect was a little of burning during urination which only lasted about 5 hours. Most posts I have read say side effects increase as treatments continue, which makes sense. I will post an update after I see how week 2 goes.

    You can get this past you! I learned this is better than systemic chemo and doable, although no fun. Get the 3rd done and my mind games then refocused that only 3 are left. After 4, just 2 left etc.

    DX 5/6/2008 TAG3 papillary tumor .5 CM in size. 2 TURBS followed by 6 instillations of BCG weekly with a second round of 6 after a 6 week wait.
