Comment:
Just started this procedure 3 weeks ago and have had lots of pain when urinating. Have to go as soon as I feel the urge otherwise I will dribble until I can empty the baldder. This review might be a little premature.

Comment:
I have had 15 treatments over a 1.5-2 year period. It seems to be working as I have not had a recurrence yet of the high grade tumors that were removed on 2 TUR procedures. I have had some longer than usual side effects after the last treatment in first of September. It has worked for me up to now.
