I  would strongly second Alan's advice.  If you have any concerns such as this PLEASE contact your doctor's office!

None of us are doctors but, my URO said call if my temperature would go above 100.5. Low grade teperatures are common. By all means call your Docs office as that is why you are paying. The nurse on duty should be able to answer directly what is normal and can be a concern.

I've had the surgery and 6 weeks bcg. Ive had a clean scope and just started maintenance dosing today. This evening I have my first fever. The literature says give it 72 hours. But how high is high enough to worry
