Jelmyto

bushongt

Hello, my father has been battling bladder & kidney cancer for a few years now and at his last follow up they spotted a suspicious spot on his remaining kidney. He’s already had his bladder, prostate, & one kidney removed. The biopsy is being scheduled but in the mean time his surgeon has asked him to think about his options if it is cancer. His options are dialysis or a form of chemotherapy called Jelmyto. I’m here on his behalf bc he can not read or write as well. Any and all information that you could share w us regarding this chemo or your experience w dialysis would help us make an informed decision. Thank you in advance 🙏🏻

Welcome bushongt,

I'm not familiar with jelmyto but it looks like it's used for urothelial cancers. If you haven't already, try asking in the bladder cancer forum - and maybe check out smartpatients.com.

Thank you eug91. I hadn’t thought to check in on the bladder forum, doing that now. Have a great day :)
