I am new here, and I wanted to ask a question about bladder cancer, which is the reason I joined this forum. My boyfriend is currently treating a non invasive bladder tumour with cisplatin, but he is suffering from a lot of side effects from this medication. He did enquire about a change in medication, but the doctors told him to stick with cisplatin. Is this because it is the only drug used for bladder cancer? Or are there alternatives?

There are at least three different medications which are standard, among which cisplatin. If your boyfriend is indeed experiencing an adverse reaction to cisplatin, I would advice that you look into getting not only another drug, but another doctor too, at the very least for a second opinion. Can you say what side effects are bothering him most?
