Side effects are unique to each person. Some experience them worse than others. I had very little from the BCG and could always work the next day after just taking it a little bit easy the day of. With some of the other treatments with other drugs the effects were worse, but I always was able to go to work the following day. Take it as it comes and don’t try to worry in advance. I agree with Cathy that drinking lots is a good idea. I took a Tylenol when necessary, but that was not often. Had 34 treatments over a 2 1/2 year period of immuno (BCG) and chemo (Mitomycin and Gemcitabine). My cancer did progress to muscle invasive from T1G3, but most does not.
All the best.
