Bladder shrunk to 25% capacity after after BCG treatment

Yes, I would consider a second opinion.
I do not have a problem with bladder neck contracture. My bladder itself has contracted to 1/4 size. BCG treatment was stopped and it was decided to replace it with chemo therapy. But due to my bladder size, when the 80cc of Mitomycin was injected into the catheter my bladder could not hold it and most came out around the catheter. I have an appt on Monday (6/20) to hear the next proposed course of action. Then will seek second opinion.

@tuck19xkrle, if you'd like to consider Mayo Clinic for a second opinion, here's more information about requesting an appointment and more: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

Tuck, I'm also going to invite fellow members @sue225 @glgraham @judith4 @texascitylady into this discussion. They or their loved one have had Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) treatment for bladder cancer and they may have experience with shrinkage of the bladder due to reatment.

Best of luck with your appointment tomorrow. I'll be interested to hear what you learn.
