Hello Dallio, I am a 78 year old VN veteran. I receive gem/doce treatments at VA for NIMBC due to exposure to Agent Orange. To date I have received the initial 6 treatments and just completed my 6th maintenance treatment. In between I had one additional surgery for a suspected growth that turned out to be nothing. Other than that I have experienced very little problem or inconvenience.
Yes, getting 2 doses each visit is annoying but over time I've gotten used to it, and VA provides medication to help those problems. My main problem has been fatigue, especially the day of treatment but after a nap, I'm fine. There are several other issues of concern with bladder cancer to deal with whether or not the treatment is with bcg or gem/doce. I hope this helps.
