Yeah, Roger, that my very first treatment. No problems. The second treatment, it was horrible. I had to get cathed like four different times the nurse said my prostate was enlarge, so after the first try, she's like I'm going to have to try again. Second, try. I'm gonna have to try again after the third try and she couldn't do it. She says, I'm going to have to get the doctor I'm like, oh my God.

I had the treatments at a Kaiser urology dept. in Denver.
The treatments were uncomfortable especially when the catheter went through my enlarged prostate.
It did not take 2 or 3 tries to get it right! Are you in a regular doctor's office, in a small town, or a urology dept. in a large city? You should not have to suffer such consequences. Change doctor? Go to a better facility? Go to a larger city?
It was not pleasant for me, but I didn't have to go through what you are going through.
6 treatments later I am not having to get up 6 - 8 times a night, and no longer have urgency to urinate.
Hang in there, and I hope things get better for you.
