@honey750 I too always get a UTI after a treatment and get a script for an antibiotic.
I have had 6 weekly lots of BCG that didn’t work. Then 6 lots of weekly GemDoc, then Cystoscopy which showed all clear. Am now about to take my 3rd monthly maintenance dose, and still having UTIs after each treatment.
Suggestions are to take Hiprex, twice daily, as a UTI preventative, also to use Ovestin cream 3 times weekly around the area.

@mochat
Do they pause your treatment until you finish the antibiotics?They paused mine twice for two weeks and I ended up getting only 5 Gem/Doce, which the oncologist said would be OK. Finished on Tuesday, cystoscopy mid February.🤞
Still have urgency and getting up 5-6 times during the night. Other than that, no problems.
