Hi there,
My husband was diagnosed with stage 3 bladder cancer. The large tumor was found in a ct scan. He could not tolerate the cystoscopy in the office with just lidocaine, it was very painful. He had the cystoscopy in the hospital under general anesthesia and several biopsies were taken. He had a catheter for 7-8 days after leaving the hospital and bled through the catheter. That was about 7 weeks ago. Last night and this morning he started urinated blood again, very bright red and lots of clots. He talked to the on call doctor. The on call Dr. said to go to the ER if there was no urine output. He seems to be urinating ok but the worry is making it worse emotionally.
