Congratulations on the 9 clear years!!
BUT you have every reason to be paranoid. Have they identified the bacteria that is causing your UTI? The reason that I was diagnosed with bladder cancer is that I went to a gyn nurse practitioner for my Pap test and mentioned that I was having a lot of UTI's. She said that if you have 3 or more in a year you go to a urologist. She referred me and the rest is history....no UTI, no bacteria. After BCG no bladder cancer.
It could very well be a UTI but with your history you need to be sure. Assume you are still having annual cystoscopy?
Call the urologist and make an appointment.
