He is going to a urologist in a week for the biopsy. How long after did they have you start BCG? Did u have to wait for the pathology to come back first? Did they have u do a chemo wash hours after?

Pathology takes approximately 6-10 days. And yes you'll have to wait for the results of Pathology before the doctor will decide what treatment to start. I started on BCG approximately 6-7 weeks after the surgery which typical from my understanding.
