Is this normal?

I have completed the first six weeks and a three week maintenance treatment and bled for a day after each treatment. I think prolonged bleeding should concern your doc. Fortunately you are having a cystoscope soon and that should clarify the situation. Good luck.

Do any doctors comment on this forum? I feel the same but apparently my dr doesn’t.
Thanks

I’m curious to know what other folks have received during very painful BCG treatments which includes bleeding.

@buckbottoms, has the bleeding subsided? How are you doing?
