Anyone had gemcitabine and docetaxel for Bladder Cancer?

Great. No cancer detected in scope or urine sample. I start 12 months gem/doc 1X per month as camcer I have or had is high grade. Probably chance it returns sometime but I will take these results for now

@scott232, how did your appointment go?

I just finished 6 weeks Gem/doc
Had little issues although very chilled after treatment. This went away in day or less. Last few sessions were harder to hold chemo in. Two weeks out of therapy and no real issues except minor burning when urinating
Dr appt this week to see if cancer is gone

My husband had 6 weeks of gem 2x a week. then cystoscopy
Found something had 3rd TUBR and took out 1 cm tumor. So the gemcitabine did not work. It is HG aggressive non invasive. Will discuss next plan on may 12th.

Yes. My husband had the gemcitibine. ( only)
Twice a week for 6 weeks. Just had follow up turb and there was @1 cm tumor. This is his 3rd turb. So I guess the treatment did not work. It is HG non invasive. Will see what new plan of action is on the 12th of this month.
CATHERINE…

Same here, had my 2nd of 6 Gemcitabine and Docetaxel right into the bladder. So far no side effects. I had 9 BCG treatments since I was diagnosed a year and a half ago. But, I can't tolerate it. So, had 4 TURBTS and many cystoscopies. Hoping this works and I can tolerate it. I have High Risk NMIBC
CIS. I only had UTIs for about a year before I went to see a Urologist and was diagnosed.
Good luck to you and God Bless you .

I have had 2 intravesical treatments of gem/ doc so far. I have had no issues whatsoever.. thanks for reaching out.

@nana2three2025, have you started gemcitabine and docetaxel (gemdox) yet? How are you doing?

Had my Cystoscopy today. No visible signs of cancer! I start my monthly maintenance treatments this Friday.

I have completed 6 Gem/Doce treatments. Side effects varied but were tolerable. I go in March 12th for a Cystoscopy to see if the cancer is gone.
