My husband was diagnosed in September 2022 and after 2 rounds( 12 doses) of BCG with four TURBTs he was switched to gem/docetaxel. He had 6 doses of each and is in on the maintenance schedule of that regimen after two cancer- free cystoscopies. He has few side-effects- fatigue mostly. He’s very encouraged….so just to encourage you:)

Thank you for your post it was encouraging. Have my last of six doses this coming week then a cystoscopy at the end of December. What is the maintenance dose? I think I read somewhere that is once a month? My side effects have been moderately rough, very sick for a couple days, so I am hoping for less treatments for maintenance if my cystoscopy goes well. Take care and hope you stay well.
