Hi Everyone
Had first BCG yesterday around 11 and to date have had no real problems. Slightly uncomfortable on catheter insertion but not bad and the whole thing was over in 10 minutes. Managed to retain for the full 2 hours. Toilets since have been pain free and the only noticable effect has been that I have woken today with a head cold.
Thanks for all the advice prior to treatment and I hope others that come along will find the same good advice I did/do.
Rob
