They side effects get a little worse as the treatments progress - it is cumulative. So, take good care of yourself and plan not to do much on those days. I cuddled up with my favorite funny movies (cancer is drama enough) and some of my favorite foods.
Best wishes

Thanks everyone!
The nurse suggested baby wipes which I used in addition to some of your ideas. They worked really well. Next week I am stealing my neighbor's baby wipes warmer!

Ann,
A little frustration and "Yankee ingenuity"

Nancy--

The spray bottle is a great idea! Did you come up with that yourself, or did someone recommend it?

Please don't feel awkward, that is what is so great about this website :)
I always "set up" my bathroom before I left for the Uro's office. 1 Large bottle of Clorox, Cottonelle wipes, 1 spray bottle filled with water.
After voiding I would spray, wipe with toilet tissue, then wipe with the "wet wipe" - pour two cups of clorox in the toilet let stand (at least 15 min) then flush.
Good luck with your BCG.
