:) Our prayers are with you, really! I know what you are going thru, as I have had the 1st-6 followed by the 1st-3 maintenance doses. Out of 9, the last 2 were at 1/3-dose. Still painful has @&$$, and bleeding like a river at flood stage. After both series, I ended up with a painful prostate infection. I am back on antibiotics again:angry: I believe it's from traumatic cath's.

I e-mailed a URO out of town (1 1/2 hrs away)at UVA 8-days ago, but NO answer. I guess he feels if I want a minute of his time, I can make an appointment and pay the $$$-price first. Pt. care in VA really sucks.

Keep the faith!

Finally started yet another series of maintenance BCG yesterday, after a two-week delay due to infection (probably from a cystoscopy six weeks ago.) This time we went with 1/3 dose and, so far, so good. Yesterday was the usually miserable afternoon and last night the usual "get-up-to-go" every two hours, but today, so far, feeling fine.

My uro kinda indicated that he might want to increase the dose again next week if this week went well, but don't think I will.
