Hi everyone,
Thanks for all your stories and advice. Urologist has changed Antibiotic to Amoxicillin 500mg TDS for 10 days. (Plus a repeat for another 10 days if still have S&S of UTI) Not to worry about checking for infection (MSU) whilst on antibiotic and back to Oncologist to see if happy to have BCG whilst on antibiotics. I did query about the efficacy of BCG whilst on antibiotics, as I know it reduces the treatment success. He said it won’t make a difference. (Yes sure??) Interesting he said my UTI was hospital acquired. They used NaCl to clean area prior to catheterisation & not Chlorhexidine 1%. I am to insist on them using chlorhexidine from now on. So frustrated with all the blunders so far with private hospital. I am tempted to get on top of this UTI before restating BCG induction., but may take weeks. Worried at the speed high grade CIC has spread in 3 months. Developed 2 more areas from Aug to Nov on Cystoscopy. It’s now January…Urologist also said he was not keen on Radical Cystectomy after all my pelvic radiation in 2024…high risk & potential for complications & poor quality of life post surgery.
