Hello, I'm Kay, aged 72. Had TURBT procedure on October 6, with Mitomycin inserted into bladder following procedure. I will be starting treatment with Gemcetabine and Docetaxel next week. I'd like to hear from other females about the side effects, especially pain upon urination and irritation, and if there are any suggestions to deal with that. Thanks! (I may not have the exact spelling of those chemo drugs!)
