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.

Also, I did have a recurrence after my initial six weekly Gemdose treatments, so I did not continue with the full 24-month treatments. I was told that a 24-month course was expected, but it would only be once a month.
