Anthony - thank you so much; indeed I take your point, but I am a victim of psychological distress from an early age; when I was nine years old, I had blood in my urine which turned out to be benign, but I had a cystoscopy which to be frank, left me in such pain and discomfort for almost two months that I never fully recovered psychologically. There are three parts of my body which I just have trouble with the doctors manipulating - the eyes are two of them, and you now know the third lol. Colon exam? No problem. Heart catheterization and stenting? No problem - four of those already inserted. But the urethra? Gah.... So I have spoken to my urologist and he will indeed put me under for each of the BCG treatments. I expect to have some interesting arguments with the insurance companies over this, but ultimately if they refuse to pay, I will pay out of pocket, it is that important to me.
I also discovered from the procedures I have been through that I appear to have some BPH because Flomax and Alfuzosin definitely make it easier to urinate, so that condition may also be contributing. Oh well, yet another lesson learned.
Anyway - thank you again for your input, I do genuinely appreciate it!
