Hi Vince,
Thank you for thinking of me. Glad that you made it through your treatments. I was told that two hours is ideal to hold it, but like you, have only been able to hold for 1 1/2 hours. I couldn't have my 3rd and 4th treatment due to a lot of blood and leukocytes in my urine. They thought I had a urinary tract infection, and they wouldn't do them. As it turns out, it's wasn't a u.t.i. after all. Both cultures showed no growth, and the doc. thinks this is just how it's going to be with me. After the treatment, I get some blood when urinating, but usually resolves itself it about a day and a half. So, I am having my 6th treatment on Thursday, had to make up for lost time, and then to the hospital for cystoscopy on 11/15. Doc. wants to do it there this time in case another tumor is there. I hate the thought of being put out again, but I guess it's better than waiting for a surgery appt. if I had the cystoscopy in the office.
I have
LOTS of fatigue with this combo., and lots of spasms. I was going to try the AVO, but it said that there is a lot of side effects, and I didn't want to chance it.
Again, thanks so much for keeping in touch and giving me an update on you. I wish us both the best of luck. Please let me know the result of your cystoscopy after you have it.
