As of right now, you shouldn't have a problem. Merck is still in production and Sanofil is quitting next year.

I had surgery 3 months ago for a recurrence of superficial bladder cancer in Thailand where I live. My urologist says he expects his batch to be delivered this month but now I am starting to wonder. What are the odds for bladder cancer sufferers like me to see the cancer recur within a year? what are the alternatives, if any?
