After a weeks delay due to a Proteus Mirablilis UTI, I had my first of 6 doses of Mitomycin yesterday morning. Found the whole process a doddle, and had barely any symptoms or issues for the rest of the day. However, today I have increasing discomfort when urinating, as well as a frequent urge to pee, as well as slightly cloudy urine. I am wondering if these are normal symptoms, or if I have yet another UTI.
Anyone have any insight into what I should consider normal post-Mitomycin symptoms? I don't want to keep having to request a urine test (it takes several days), and then have another treatment postponed.

Chromedome . Hi Matt, and a welcome from me. We know MMC can cause various side effects. We also know that catheters can cause UTIs, and so always best to get checked out. Where I live the local pharmacists can check for UTIs and can prescribe antibiotics. Usually a 24 hour turnaround. Best wishes.
Thanks! I’ve emailed my urology nurse, and will check at the pharmacy tomorrow morning.
