Hi, Winterwhite. My husband also had a bit of a detour in his BCG schedule due to bladder irritation. It occurred in December 2015 when redness was observed during a routine scope exam about six weeks after his first maintenance round of BCG (doses 7-9). This led to another "scraping" as my husband calls it. The earliest available surgery date was a month later (January 2016) so our holiday celebrations were a bit more meaningful. Fortunately, the pathology report confirmed no recurrence of CIS. Since then, he's had another round of maintenance BCG, another scope with no signs of irritation and began another three week cycle of maintenance BCG this week. Wishing you and your husband the best.
