My journey with bladder cancer began last January. BCG # 1 is March 31 and ends May 5. Wondering about what to expect with BCG therapy discomfort/complications. I have substantial incontinence and live in a condo and am concerned about how best to deal with pads and diapers. Also wondering if I'll be up for golf once the Minnesota weather moderates.
