Have had many, many Mitomycin C treatments in the past.
1. The side effects seem to affect some and not others, but they tend to arrive at or after the third or fourth treatment. Mine were flu-like symptoms, aches, and general malaise.
2. None. Not sure why the six week wait. I was never told to do so – and did not!
3. Your husband has low grade tumours which are different from what mine were (mine were high grade) so the outcome may well be better. My cancer did progress to muscle invasive disease after two and a half years. But again, mine were high grade tumours and high grade tend to be much more aggressive. Having said that, even with high grade tumours, this drug has been successful for some.
All the best. Keep us posted as his experience will be a help to others as well.
