Hi Sara,
Thanks for your kind reply. My HMO gave me several names of dr's at City of Hope. I've heard some positive reports from this hospital... do you know how they rate vs. USC?
During my last surgery of 12/26 they did a biopsy and nothing negative was present. Yes, they believe the agitation is from the BCG treatment. The first was uncomfortable but tolerable. The second, especially with the interferon seemed to be very destructive. They did advise that some limitations of bladder would be present after the burning of the bladder but it would help with the spasms/pain. Unfortunately it hasn't and now I have both limited use of the bladder and spasms/pain. Medication has provided limited value. List of current meds: trospium, meloxicam, terazosin (replaced doxazosin), nortriptyline (3p). These are taken either AM or PM, varies.
Thanks for your quick reply and input. Greatly appreciated.
