Anyone had gemcitabine and docetaxel for Bladder Cancer?

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.

I know some people have success taking d-Mannose to prevent UTIs. My elderly aunt was put on a concentrated cranberry drink called UTIstat due to repeated UTIs. After a year of use she has not had another infection with symptoms. These medical grade products must be diluted into juice or another drink to be palatable. I would want my urologist and oncologist to approve of a product before I would start it.

Thank you for your advice. I take D- Mannose, Cranberry pills and a probiotic. I will look into the Utistat.
I just finished my 6th chemo. I have burning and irritation. I don't have a UTI, this time. I was told that maybe a gynecologist could help me, so I will go that route for now. Thank you for the time to help me out. Blessings to you and your family.
