Anyone treated with Adstiladrin for BCG-unresponsive bladder cancer?

I am three years in and am not longer responsive to BCG. My doctor has recommended Adstiladrin, which I will start next week. Looking for feedback on side effects.

I was BCG refractory after initial six treatments, so urologist recommended Adstiladrin. After three of initial four treatments, I experience minor side effects, typically irritated urethra and flu-like symptoms for 48-72 hours after bladder instillation. Best wishes and prayers for your healing.

@fmosby, I moved your question about Adstiladrin to this existing discussion:

I did this so you can read previous posts and connect easily with @davidpball @rdbliven @dboh48 and others.

@fmosby, how is treatment going so far?
