Well,...I had to Post Pone the 6 Treatments...These Treatments are a
"Preventive" Treatment...The Key Word is " Preventive".... Which Means Your Doctor is Recommending the Treatments...In other Words its an "UpSell"....You go an get an Oil Change,
along with that they offer Wiper Blades....Same Idea....
Everything has a Business Side and The Hospital or Medical is No Different
I Will Go Every 3 Months have my Doctor, Go into the Bladder....and Check for Possible Tumor Growth....
I Dont think I can do a Catheter Ever again,...Unless I am Put Out, in a Coma or Some other Non Awake Measure....
Right Now, I am Good, Everything is Going back to Normal....
I know What to look for, with My Urine,...Any Color Changes and I go back in...for Some kind of Testing...
"CATCH IT VERY EARLY AND YOU CAN BE GOOD....Start Guessing and Wait and think its gonna go Away....
Its Not"....

I really can't understand the fuss about a catheter. If the correct size is used and lidocaine is administered before insertion, it should be a non-event. Just my opinion from experience of about a dozen insertions. I suggest your nurse or doctor is inexperienced with the procedure.

@daddyroxx2025 The problem is that bladder cancer recurrence is very high, one the highest of the cancers. So if you had one tumor you are highly likely to get another. BCG is very effective in keeping recurrence at bay. The data is very clear, it works. So I decided to go with the maintenance BCG treatments. The catheter is uncomfortable but I’ll take that inconvenient to lower my chances of another tumor.
