TYVM I will try your suggestion. You are correct the bleeding and clots are a result of the radiation.

Merry Christmas and Happy Healthy New Year to all

Hi,
Most people at this forum that have had to deal with invasive bladder cancer have had there bladder removed. There are very few people here, if any, that have had radiation and chemo. Radiation/chemo is more frequently used in England. There is a brittish forum where you probably get more answers: community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer_types/bladder-cancer/discussions.aspx

IF I have to guess, the bleeding and the clots could be a side effect from the radiation. I think you should discuss this questions with your urologist and uncologist. If you are not satisfied with the answers you get you should if possible go for a second opinion.

yes after surgery had chemo and radiation- last scope 1 month ago and was negative and even though blood in urine no cauterization was necessary. Both urologist and oncologist say this is normal. Having neuropathy or legs and migraines as well.

It has been almost a year since the radiation and chemo after the tumor was removed. It was invasive but not through the wall.

I moved your message to its own place under the "non-invasive" category where I think more people who can answer your question will see it.

You didn't mention how long it has been since the tumor removal...It can take several weeks for things to heal up and get back to normal. If your urologist seems to think you are doing well, you probably are.
