You have a great attitude and it will help you through this!! I had the complete BCG experience...the 6 week initial series and maintenance for almost two years. Everyone's experience is slightly different, of course, but I found that it was very "do-able." In fact, being Dental-Phobic, I would rather do BCG than go to the dentist!!
For most of us the side effects are not severe, although they do increase as you accumulate more treatments. This is your body reacting to the BCG...which is exactly what you want to happen. If there were NO reactions, that would indicate that your body is not responding.
My side effects, at first, were discomfort and cramping and bleeding during the hours right after the treatments. Stayed sort of close to the bathroom!! And a bit of fatigue the day after/the second day after. As the treatments continued, the fatigue did increase. I also had some bladder irritation and burning (BCG-cystitis) and, on several occasions, we had to postpone the treatments for a week or so so that the irritation could heal. By the time I finished treatment, I was at a reduced dose, which is not uncommon.
You will do just fine. Keep in your mind that this is MUCH easier than chemo which many cancer patients must undergo.
