Slices and Dicese? ACK!!!!
Mine tried that once with me being in the office awake. I almost hurt my nose when I levitated at the speed of light toward the ceiling! He did't try that again.
Now that I have a neobladder, I think I could do a cysto on myself without any numbing stuff. I cath with a 16 French red rubber catheter and have no discomfort at all. Back in the old days (when I had a prostate that seemed to enjoy strangling my urethra) it was a thought beyond reason to think about a catheter and cystos were dreaded.
Even though I got the numbing gel when they did my 6 month cysto after my neobladder surgery, I think I won't even need it next time.
I'm glad there is at least "some good" that comes from not having the prostate anymore. There
should be given the down side of not having one.
Be careful on that "drove 6 hours" thing after BCG. I stopped at a grocery store once after getting BCG and that was a mistake. Urgency and pain kicked in unexpectedly. I dashed to the bathroom and made it in time but I was not in very good shape after that. I'd suggest being conservative with activities after getting BCG to be on the safe side.
