I've been prescribed Padcev for my bladder cancer. It works by targeting the Nectin-4 protein on cancer cells and delivering a powerful anti-cancer drug directly into the cells. It has helped stop the cancer from growing, but I'm experiencing some side effects. It seems like a powerful medication, but I'm a bit anxious about the possibility of severe side effects like allergic reactions or lung problems. Anyone else on Padcev? Let's share our experiences and support each other!

I recently started using Anktiva 400mcg/0.4ml Solution Sdv to treat my bladder cancer, which hasn't responded well to BCG treatment. It's an immunotherapy given directly into the bladder through a catheter. I'm curious to hear from others who have gone through similar treatments. What have your experiences been like? How do you manage the side effects, especially the more serious ones? Any tips for making the process easier would be greatly appreciated.
