Hi Deb, thanks for that information. So, I have gotten 6 treatments of Gemcitabine/Doce. And, you have had 15, are the other 9 maintenance? I am hoping that in July, I will go on the maintenance program. You sound so grateful for everything and I admire that. I have it so much easier, traveling wise, but I get this burning and irritation that is driving me crazy. I am trying to see a gynecologist to see if I get answers because Urologist don't do UTI's or infections like I get. Take care and God Bless you.

Hi Honey, yes I had 9 maintenance treatments. The treatments are hard on your body and I did have a lot of burning and irritation although I never had a UTI. They would do a urinalysis before each treatment. The chemo can be very harsh on your body. I was very fatigued. I’ve been off the treatments for 5 months and I’m beginning to feel better now. I developed pelvic prolapse and it seems to be healing now that I’m not on treatments. I also found that special soap and gels for women helped to ease the burning & dryness. It helped soothe the pain. I hope you can see your gynecologist soon and can help you with your situation. I’m praying for you!
