Marlene, you are absolutely in the right place!!!!
It may take a while longer for your bladder to "settle down" after the BCG treatments. It IS very irritating......The purpose of it is to stimulate the immune response in the bladder lining so that it rejects any cancer cells that are present and this often results in a very sore bladder!
However, be sure to discuss any concerns such as this that you have with your urologist. I often found it more efficient to talk on the phone with his nurse.
She was easier to get a hold of and would pave the way for me to speak directly to him if needed.
