What were your initial bladder cancer symptoms?

Posted by meadows @meadows, 3 days ago

I'd like to know, especially from women, what your first symptoms were for bladder cancer. I'm also curious why blood in the urine can come and go - some days there and some not. Thanks very much.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bladder Cancer Support Group.

Interesting that you do biweekly nivolumab. I am doing monthly treatments. It can also be submitted subcutaneously nowadays. However, Mayo has not mentioned that to me yet.

Monthly appears to be more common nowadays.

It is interesting that the two of you are both monthly. Is that your only immunotherapy drug? It is for me.

Yes. Mono therapy. Yervoy did not work out in clinical studies as combination therapy. It did for other malignancies. https://www.guoncologynow.com/post/nivolumab-ipilimumab-fails-to-extend-survival-rates
