Hi Star,

I am on my second round of BCG treatments. One more to go and then another biopsy. The day I have the infusion can be pretty uncomfortable with peeing every 15 or 20 minutes. I have only had the cath put in at the doctors offic. Before the insert it, the nurse puts in a lidocain gel. There is no pain then when the cath is inserted. Hope it starts going easier for you. On the day of treatment I dont drink a lot of liquid before the infusion so I can retain it as long as possible. I startewd out with 2 hours but am now only able to wait about 1 1/2 hours. After that I really drink a lot of liquid (I try for at least three quarts) This seems to help with the pain on voiding.

Good luck with your treatments. ;)

Esther

Hello I had my 3rd of 6 BCG treatments yesterday. I am doing a breathing exercise to help with cathiter procedure. Please forgive my spelling. I only hurt when they first go in and when they have to get past my prostate. I have BHP this is an enlagement of prostate in this area, I take flo max for this. By the way this is done by the nurse in the office. Hope it goes well for you. Don

Hanging in there!
