Dear Jim,
Hope you have a good report soon. My husband (CIS) also had a precautionary biopsy due to redness after BCG. This wasn't an issue after the first 6 treatments. The redness was seen during the routine scope after the first maintenance series of 3 BCG treatments. He has since completed another series of 3 treatments of BCG with no redness reported on the follow-up scope.
He continues to have slight discomfort when voiding which has been discussed with his BC specialist. It's basically the new "normal" for my husband and hopefully will resolve itself once he completes (that is successfully completes!) his BCG treatments.
Best wishes.
