The mystery of medicine for patients and doctors (I'm a pediatrician as well as a BLC survivior) is the myriad of ways a disease can present. No two patients have exactly the same symptoms. Yes bleeding occurs with bladder cancer, sometimes microscopic, and sometimes a clot which is what got the ball rolling on my further evaluation. But as I said, some of our fellow warriors had no bleeding at all. Nobody can tell you how much bleeding to expect because there is no rule, but once bleeding is deteected, it should trigger a diagnostic workup.
