It's 1000 times more comfortable. I've been self-cathing since my foley came out in March. But again, what's the purpose of the catheter placement? Additionally, I don't have to deal with incontinence or any leakage at all. I just can't void without a catheter due to restriction cause by the cancer. I, and my medical team, are hoping that resolves with IMRT coming up in a few weeks.
