Gemcitabine vs BCG

Can someone tell me why some doctors use Gemcitabine and some use the BCG. I am taking the Gemcitabine, but I notice that more people talk about their doctor using the BCG.

  1. A year ago i had Gemcitabine 6 treatments but it didnt help so now i am getting BCG .So far had 6 then 3 now in Oct i have 3 more.

    1. I had bcg treatments kept getting reacurrences tried gemcitabine also failed had RC in November going well now Cance free

      1. Shakey - Happy to hear that you are doing well. Please make sure to keep vigilant with post RC testing as that is very important. Great news for you, Linda ( moderator, BladderCancer.net team member)
