    I had 45 radiation treatments. At about 6 months after treatment had a tiny bit of blood in the urine. Other than that no major side effects. Thank God!

    Finished 9 weeks of IMRT in June 2023. No one ever told me about this. So glad I’m hearing about it now.

    2012 I had 45 proton radiation treatments at Loma Linda University Hospital. No blood in the urine and other than sexual dysfunction I have done pretty well. I do take a maintenance dose of Cialis that actually helps with urinating. Thank you for the informative video.

    I had blood in my urine after just 10 treatments and still 18 to go. My doctor recognized that the bladder stones (garden of stones) should have been removed before treatment. Week #3 I had my stone garden removed!To say I was in excruciating pain for 5 weeks is an understatement.

      It will irritate the bladder but hopefully your radiation oncologist is checking in with you regularly about any problems you are experiencing. I had the typical side effects but felt fine a couple weeks after the last treatment. The 7 weeks really flew by.

    I got a very small blood clot and bleed about 2 and a half years after the radiation i got the scope and i bleed the next day but nothing more, for my opinion on if the scope was worth it, The scope involved a short appointment with my urologist laying down getting a little Novocain and some blood in my urine the next day with no discomfort other than as my doctor said the scope feels like peeing backwards

    7 months ago my husband finished radiation therapy of the prostrate bed and is now seeing blood in the urine including clots. The first urinalysis came back clean but was given antibiotics. a month later he saw blood again and this time the urine analysis showed a UTI. He was given another type of antibiotics and it stated to clear up but with some blood showing up every few days during the 10 day treatment. My husband is worried. Is this to be expected or is this common or normal with a UTI after radiation

    I have been having blood in my stool, stool is covered with mucus. started about 2 weeks ago. I finished my radiation treatment about 6 months ago. Is this normal ?
    What can I do about this.

    Finished IMRT treatment over a year ago. I started having painful urination with a little blood in it about a week ago. I assumed a UTI (never had one before) ended up going to urgent care where they took a ct scan that showed a thickening of the bladder wall. A little blood, I'm ok with it. The inability to pee more that a couple of tablespoons while it burns like acid is not encouraging.

    I had radiotherapy for prostate cancer around 2 years ago and every so often maybe once every 2 months I feel a discharge of fresh blood in my stools. This goes away after a few hours and I have had an all clear from the colon cancer hospital where you send back a sample of your stool. Should I be worried?

      My husband had 26 rounds of radiation 2 years ago, too. About 6 months or so after he finished the treatment, he started getting some blood in the stool. The bleeding did get progressively worse and more frequent over time, quite unpredictable and bothersome. A subsequent colonoscopy at the Mayo Clinic determined that he had radiation proctitis, which is uncommon and can be tricky to treat. (Sometimes it can go away on its own.). After a few different remedies failed, they performed an Argon plasma coagulation procedure that has been successful. If you haven't had a colonoscopy in awhile, you might consider it as the doctor can find the source of the problem.

    I am prone to having kidney stones. I cannot imagine having radiation that most certainly affects the ureter after this. But I am undergoing radiation, and yes living in fear of this.

      @@SimonSayez-kz5tu No. It probably was the radiation for prostate cancer that caused the bladder cancer. It happens 1-3% of the time, but usually takes a few years to happen.

      The decision between surgery and radiation has to be made on an individual basis. I’ve had a lot of problems from the radiation, but the most important thing is that my PSA remains less than 0.01.
