Do you have increasing incontinence following BCG treatments?

You must be so weary after having completed 18 BCG treatments. I will be having my 5th instillation this coming Thursday and I'm plum tuckered out already!
You mentioned you were not having any problems so I am assuming your cystoscopy results showed no presence of tumors. If this is the case, your treatment was a success and hopefully it will be smooth sailing from now on.
Sending my best wishes.

Thanks for the good wishes. I count myself as one of the lucky ones!! I go for my final (I hope) cystoscopy next Monday and if it also is clear, I should be free of treatments for 6 Mos. to a year. The reason I feel so lucky is because my tumor was found totally by accident. I was receiving a green light laser operation to decrease the size of my prostate and my urologist found the tumor while preforming the operation.
She removed it and it has not returned in 1 1/2 years of 5 sessions of BCG. I didn't have cancer on my bucket list, so I'm sure glad it hasn't returned! I think that part of the reason I didn't find the BCG treatments so bad is because 3 years ago I was tick bit and ended up getting the trifecta of tick
diseases - Lyme, anaplasmosis, babesiosis. I have never been sicker in my life, and the treatments were unspeakable!!! I was told babesiosis is very similar to malaria and treated similarly. Believe me, every article of my outer clothing is now treated with permetherin and I don't head to the garden or my apiary unless fully covered.
