passing blood clots
I had a negative cystoscopy in September. I was told I had an inflamed bladder from the bcg and interferon treatments. Two nights ago, I passed some blood clots, and last night another one. Does this mean the tumor has come back in such a short time?
Thank you.

Just to help set you mind at ease a little bit…blood clots are not the usual presentation of bladder cancer. It is usually just pink-tinged or red urine!! Clots are more likely from an injured bladder lining.

I hope so, called doc. and he boosted up my next cysto. The treatment was in July, so that seems a long time ago. But, I pray that it is from the inflamation.
Thank you.
Probably not It is more likely that this is because of the BCG induced irritation . But you should mention it to your doctor as soon as possible.
