Please ask about gem/doc combination treatment. It has been very effective for my husband.
I would imagine if cancer is observed in December, they will do another TURBT. You SHOULD start treatment no more than a month after that. I looked up Sloan K and the website states that the combo therapy is something that is offered.
My husband started off
with two rounds (12) of BCG which didn’t work for him, but the chemo did.
The doctor will give you choices and one does need to advocate for self.
Hope all goes well.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your advice. Good Luck to your husband.
I will ask about that instead of bcg. I did hear it is better. Are there many side- effects?
