Yes, I had fever for several days following each treatment, muscle ache and now become fatigued more easily.

Yes, I had a few days of low fever, and substantial fatigue for a longer period of time. Provided that Adstiladrin works on your particular cancer, it is my poinion that the side effects are a small price to pay for the results. Unfortunately, I had a cystoscopy in mid September 2025 and the doctor again found tumors in my bladder and an unusal thickening of one of my ureters and an alteration in its shape, at the point where it enters the kidney. I had a CT scan a few days later, with and without contrast, an additional Adstiladrin treatment on September 19th, and will go in for biopsies of all the suspected sites on October 24th. I have skilled physicians, excellent medical facilities and insurance that enables me to avail myself of both, so I have no complaints. I wish you the best.
