What is BCG
It is a form of bacterium mixed with a saline solution injected into the bladder with a catheter. Believed to restore the body's natural defense against the disease. It is still not known how it works but it does.

1. My daughter in law's Dad
had bladder cancer. Don't know what type of treatments he had but, it involved something like yours. After treatment he would have to go home and lay down for a bit - on his back, then stomach, right side, left side? Do you have to do that?
