Anyone have BCG + Imfinzi (durvalumab) at same time?

Posted by cnill @newyorknill, Aug 7 12:36pm

I will be starting BCG very soon. A monthly IV of INFINZI also was given to me as option. Has anyone else done together. I am 84 years old and want as much quality time I can. Thanks and God Bless

@newyorknill, did you decide to add Imfinzi (durvalumab) to the BCG treatment? How is treatment going?

I'm starting the same treatment just waiting for a port to get inserted, from what I understand the imfinzi gives us a %36 chance of curing the cancer, I'll pray for you please keep us updated as I'll do the same, before there was nothing really for small cell lung cancer but this new drug is working on those patients . God Bless you 🙏

@colleenyoung not doing imfinzi. had my first bcg on 9/9. it was utterly painless. the only annoying part is having to drink so much water after the 2 hours and using bleach after every pee for 6 hours. I am feeling tired and a little dizzy today. all in all, peace of cake. God Bless and heal all of us.
