Had treatment #7 yesterday after the three month break. Things did not go smooth with the catheter. Never had a problem before, same nurse this time. As she was inserting the catheter, she must have scaped on my urethra somehow. I started bleeding a lot (I'm on Plavix blood thinner). She panicked a bit and went to get another nurse. The new nurse got a different type catheter and proceeded with the treatment. Clean up took a bit, and pressure on my penis eventually stopped the bleeding. I went home with my weiner wrapped in gauze and instructions to go to the ER if I kept bleeding. Things were OK on my first void, just a big blood clot at the beginning that was expected I guess. The next couple voids were normal mostly just some smaller blood clots. The next void produced another large clot and then the bleeding started again. Took about 10 minutes of pressure to get it to stop. Today I spent most of the day just taking it easy in bed, drank plenty of water and things seem OK. No more blood, but anxious that it could start again. I am also anxious about them still giving me my treatment considering I was bleeding. Granted, I was not bleeding from my bladder that I know of. I think the blood was from just a little way down inside my penis. But i'm still concerned, not only about BCG in my blood, but also about next Monday's treatment. The first 6 treatments went so well, and now i'm anxious and uncomfortable.
