Anyone had gemcitabine and docetaxel for Bladder Cancer?

Posted by rjlpool502 @rjlpool502, Oct 18, 2024

Just had second of six weekly doses Gem/Doc chemo infusion for my bladder cancer. Had six doses BCG but cancer came right back. Mine is aggressive but non invasive at present. Been scraped out twice. Any one else having this type chemo? Would like to compare notes.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bladder Cancer Support Group.

I believe @deb2024 has experience with gemcitabine and docetaxel for bladder cancer.

@rjlpool502, I assume you've had a third treatment in the meantime. How are you doing?

@rjlpool502 my husband had a single dose of this treatment immediately postop from a partial bladder resection to remove a diverticulum containing the tumor. Unfortunately his continued to reappear despite BCG, chemo, and Keytruda and he had a radical cystectomy 2.5 years ago. He has been cancer free since then. I hope you can connect with others who have had success with this treatment.
