Best bladder wishes to you 🍀

had BC 8 yrs back- 2 surgeries and countless bcg infusions- bcg is the gold standard- not too easy holding it for 2 hours- most difficult part is the not knowing- whole procedure takes about 2 minutes- piece of cake

I found it hard to keep in, the secret its drink NOTHING for 5 hours prior to it, and drink a lot of cool liquid 10-15 mins before release time
