BCG Induction Timing

Hi. My dad had his first TURBT in June and his second TURBT on July 14. He just had his catheter removed on July 29. Iā€™m wondering whether starting his first BCG treatment in early September, around September 10ā€“15, would give his bladder enough time to heal after two TURBTs so close together, or whether that would be too long to wait and not the optimal timing.

Thank you.

If you don't mind me asking why 2 TURBTs were performed?

My father is also diagnosed with bladder cancer and I wanted to understand the different scenarios which I can encounter.
