Hello and welcome to the group. By immunotherapy, can we assume you are to start BCG treatment? Not experienced it myself, but others here will be able to help. Best wishes.
Good afternoon Scotsman and welcome. If as Riley says it’s BCG you’re having then it’s all fairly straight forward. Have catheter introduced then BCG fluids , wince a little bit , over in 5 minutes. Hang on to the BCG for 2 hours then have a pee. That was easy and after the six weekly procedures are complete you’ll wonder what all the fuss was about, best wishes, John.
