Anyone to share experiences with Gemcitabine and Docetaxel?

I was not success with two series of BCG so starting tomorrow my urologist will begin the Gem/Doc protocol with me. I believe the timing will be similar as the 6week BCG but there will be the two chemotherapies inserted one after the other. With my BCGs it was a quick 5 minute procedure but I've read this will take a couple of hours in the clinic because I will have to remain there for both insertions and hold them for an hour for each. Maybe longer? I would appreciate anyone's experiences with this and any outcomes. Was there any negative symptoms or side effects and if so, how did you deal with it. I was diagnosed with bladder cancer in Nov. 24.
