Preparing for Maintenance Treatment
My follow-up cysto after 6 weeks of treatment and 6 weeks rest revealed no cancer in the bladder. That was great news! However, I'll be starting the first round of maintenance intravesical chemo in 2 days.
I honestly thought I would decline the maintenance treatments when the time came. But considering my mild reaction to the first series, I didn't hesitate to agree to receiving two 3-week rounds over the next 6 months. (Forgive me for not updating the community sooner. I've been exhausted and battling the aftereffects of hidden stress.) Otherwise, life is good.
If you haven't already, please share your experiences with continuing bladder cancer maintenance after your initial diagnosis and treatment. I wish you all the best. ~Jacqueline, Moderator, BladderCancer.net, Advocate
