Chemotherapy and Dialysis: Looking for others who have had both

@knitgirl I just read your message in another discussion about your husband's bladder cancer and being on dialysis. I'm wondering if he had chemotherapy while on dialysis. @gingerw may be facing that situation in the near future and is looking to hear from others who were on dialysis during cancer treatment. Would you mind sharing?

Fortunately no my husband did not go through chemotherapy. He came out of surgery with a port installed to start dialysis immediately. Again, because of the interdisciplinary team he was seen by several different departments during his 9 day stay in the hospital. He was able to wait until 2 months after surgery before starting dialysis. This blessing gave his body time to heal from surgery first.
