@yellowjacket It is chemotherapy. Gemcitabine(Gem)and doce…not sure what that is. My husband received Gemcitabine and Cisplatin when he was diagnosed with bladder cancer. Excellent for stopping the cancer from progressing.

@yellowjacket, it is Gemcitabine and Docetaxel. I had six sessions, one each week. First they put in a catheter and fill the bladder with the gemcitabine. You hold that in for an hour and then they come in and drain it out. Next they put in the docetaxel, pull the catheter and you leave with instructions to hold it in for at least another hour. In my case they do not put in so much that you feel the urge to pee right away. I had no problem holding them in. My urologist said there was a BCG shortage and this was a promising replacement. Studies show that gem/doce is better tolerated than BCG with fewer adverse reactions.
