  I just had cysto fu after BCG treatments. There was inflammation at the site which will be biopsies on two weeks. Is this usual after BCG treatment?

  Thank you so much for your answer. The word is such a scary word and when I saw the inflammation, Even though I have the utmost confidence in my doctor, the unknown is so…..
  A friend suggested to go to this site.
  I am glad I went. You brought a ray of sunshine with your answer Even though I have to wait until 19th for bx and 2d for results, you made it a little easier.

  Not at all. BCG really can do a number on your bladder lining, and irritation or “BCG-cystitis” is very common. I had to have a biopsy of this, even though my uro was sure it was from the BCG….just to be sure. Took a while to heal.
