Mu husband was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2023. Had BCG that resulted in another growth so tried Gen/Doce but could not hold in bladder. He went for 9 months without growth and now has a new growth. Doing more research, has anyone tried adstiladrin or the device implant for Gen/doce?

This drug was still in testing when my husband was being treated but doctors were very hopeful that it would be helpful.

I recently had stage 4 bladder cancer went through all chemo treatments all cancer was gone but they still wanted to remove bladder I said no so my doctor said will do cysctomy they seen some scar tissue so they went scrape that out to see if was cancerous came back no cancer my oncologist doctor gave me 2 options which were finished my chemo treatment cycle which we cut short 2nd option was every 3 months do blood work and cysctomy to see if cancer comes back mainly just keep a close eye on it we choose the 2nd option believing the Lord as heal me Jesus is still the great physician and is healer
