Does anyone know of treatments more effective than BCG?

Nine years ago I had 3 high grade, aggressive, non invasive tumors removed followed by a series on BCG treatments. A year later we were doing it again as the cancer had return. Since then I've been scoped every 6 months and I've had several more tumors removed. In April 2024 I had my right kidney, ureter, and a small section of my bladder removed due to cancer.
I had another tumor removed in late January and am scheduled for another scope on May 4. Doctor is talking about starting me on Gen/Doce since BCG doesn't seem to work for me.

And to @gendoc25, thank you for sharing your experience. It is encouraging to hear that you have experienced next to no side effects with Gen/Doce!

As an addendum, which I’ve mentioned elsewhere, after my initial TURBT, the pathology slides were analyzed by a AI system called Vesta, from Valar Labs, which determined that BCG would not work for me. Hence the choice of Gem/Doce.
