Hi Louise
My first BCG treatment they made me stay at the hospital for 1 hour doing the roll overs, the I went home about a 30 minute drive. I had no problem holding the BCG for the 2 hours. The following treatments I was sent home right after the treatment, did the roll overs at home and voided after holding the BCG for 2 hours.
The nursing staff at the hospital should give your husband instructions regarding the the time to hold the BCG, how much water to drink for the next 6 hours after the 1st void, the bleach and bathroom procedure.
After the treatment your husband should go home, not to work.
We do have a member who did go to work after the treatments, did not drink much water. The member had major complications because of doing this.
I would recommend that someone accompany your husband to the 1st treatment.
All the best,
Jack
