Aggressive Bladder Cancer: Tips to help hold meds in bladder?
Bladder Cancer | Last Active: 5 days ago | Replies (55)Comment receiving replies
I just completed one treatment a week for six weeks. We live 1/2 hr away from the James outpatient facility. I was able to hold it in for the first four infusions. The last two treatments were a little less than an hour. What a mess.
I have scope December 17 and am hoping all is okay.

My last of the weekly doses is this upcoming week. Each time has been a little worse than the last. Barely made it to 50 minutes! I believe the cumulative effects make each dose a little harder. I’ll be SO glad after this next session and then I have a break until mid-January when I’ll have a cystoscopy.
I honestly don’t think I can do the next protocol of maintenance chemo, but will have to wait and see.
I certainly hope that your scope in a few weeks shows good results!!! Please let us know.

Welcome, @linda0234. Oh, the indignities of treatment! I'm sure the treatment nurses assured you that all was okay. You held it for as long as possible and close to an hour is what you were able to do. I'm sure you're anxious to see the results of the scope in a few weeks.
Linda, what type of bladder cancer do you have? How are you doing?
