I am having the same treatment but I go once a month and this will be for two years. I have completed 5 of the 24 treatments.I barely drink any fluids the day of my treatment. I only have to do one hour before voiding it for both.
I understand how 90 would be very hard to do as one hour I feel is tough.
Hope this helps.

I am on the 2nd year of gem/doc monthly treatment.

Thank you for sharing. It’s interesting you will receive your treatments for 24 months. I wonder if the duration of treatment as well as the length of time the chemo is held is dependent upon what stage and grade the cancer is diagnosed to be at.
My bladder cancer is a ‘0’ stage as it hadn’t invaded beyond my bladder lining, however, also it is ‘intermediate’ grade as I had numerous tumors. The likelihood of tumors returning is apparently higher bc I had many tumors.
Do you know why and would you be willing to share why your treatment plan is for 24 months? Completely understand if you’d rather not share this information.
Thank you for what you have shared. I am appreciative.
Best to you in your treatmentts going forward.
