About Bosun

Hello, Just found this forum and reading the comments has made me realise I'm not the only sufferer - easy to do in the present climate. I was diagnosed with early stage bladder cancer and operated on December 2019. Since then I've had 3 flexible cystoscopies, 2 rigid cystoscopies and 15 BCG treatments and found my reaction to each BCG progressively more difficult to endure. Six days after my last BCG I'm still peeing painfully seven or eight times a night and have frequent, overwhelming urges to pee when ever I move. Oh for a good night's sleep! Has anyone found anything that alleviates the urge or that helps with the pain/soreness on urinating?
