I’m not sure why once a month for 2 years and only for a hour for each but I’m on number 6 today and so far so good
Maybe it’s helpful it is only once a month my cancer is very low grade but does seem to come back hopefully this works

I also experienced thinning hair after getting Gemdose.

Yes directly in the bladder. The hair thinning could also be attributed to stress and dealing with the fact that I have cancer and not just the treatments.
