You didn't say why you switched urologist but if you were not comfortable, you should do what you think best. As for the treatment of BCG, I'm in the midst of it myself. So far, it is working. It is important to do the full routine. 6 weeks first, get scoped, then if it seems to have worked, proceed every 3 months with another 3 weeks of treatment, get scoped again, etc. for a year or more as you taper down. Look on line for the treatment schedule and go over it with your Doc. It can be uncomfortable and if you just can't tolerate it, lower dosage seems to be as effective per my doc...but stick with the full doses if you can tolerate it. Be hopeful and upbeat.
