Post RT, blood in urine etc, any ideas?

Hi Guys,

Firstly I appologise for resurecting this old thread, but website won't let me start a new one with 'blood in urine' in the title.

So since the last posting things have/had been going well, antibiotics in the autumn cleared up prostate infection and cranberries over christmas sorted the radiation cystitis.

However I have been sufferring a few colds and fevers over winter, got particularlly high fever earlier this week.

I thought to myself, in the absence of any pain urinating, how do we tell the difference between flu, uti and prostate infection, all of which give a fever?

So I went to see GP, she listened to my chest etc everything normal, my urine tested clear of uti (but then some uti's don't show up on GP's stick tests) however her test showed I have blood in urine.

I am due to see Consultant in a few weeks so guess he will sort it out, and GP will get back to me with lab test results.

But I am wondering, is blood in urine still considered a harmles side effect over 12 months after treatment, or is it something more concerning?

I look forward to your thoughts.

:)

Hi Dave,

I have blood in the urine almost 18 months after RT. Consultant said it could be RT side effect but worth checking out.
