So...how many of you have had this form of treatment? Was it orally or by IV? How many treatments did you have?
John is having the IV form. He is scheduled to have it once a month for 6 months. (Or possibly 3 depending on the blood work @ 3 months.)
He has to go back to UNC Chapel Hill for the treatments which includes flushing his bladder with a sugar saline mixture (Via IV) one bag of CTX then another bag of the sugar saline mixture to flush his bladder again (The sugar Saline causes him to go a lot more!). They said they have to carefully flush his bladder because the CTX is so toxic and causes harm to the bladder.
Anyone experience this type of treatment?
Not that I doubt the doctors in what they are doing, I just wanted to see how others dealt with it (If there were any side effects rather temporary or perm)
