@herb
thanks so much for your reply, very helpful
our situation evolved today a bit, in that my mom's renal function really cannot support the ct scan, nor would it tolerate any chemo, so the new plan is to skip the scan and do the six weeks of bcg, a repeat biopsy, and end the therapy there
in light of this, I do think having the bcg sessions in the most comfortable/supportive environment is the way to go, so unless the hospital offers something better in terms of clinical setting than simply the dr's office (it's in the middle of a significant and slow moving remodel, not the best situation), it looks as if we will go with the hotel room idea
being able to fully recline and/or move about, close to a bathroom, with some guarantee of privacy, will be reassuring "just in case"
we had some good conversations with the urologist and primary today, everyone is on the same page, and, altho we will probably do a consult with a medical oncologist, as well, we feel more confident than ever that we are going in the right direction here
thanks again, so much, for your response, it's really reassuring and helpful to hear from people who have actually undergone the therapy themselves,
all very best wishes for your continued health,
