I had radiotherapy and chemotherapy for cervical cancer 22 years ago. For the last few months I've experienced blood and clots when peeing. After various tests the doc has diagnosed radiation cystitis. Has anyone else had this?

  • Hi  and welcome to the Macmillan community.

    I went through chemoradiation for cervical cancer in 2018, and suffered from radiation cystitis at the time, but things improved after treatment ended and I didn’t have blood or blood clots at any time. Since your question relates to cervical cancer, you may like to to join our cervical cancer support group, and the link is here

    If you join and put up your question there, you might receive some replies from others who have suffered late effects from pelvic radiotherapy.  It would be helpful if you’re able to share with us what kinds of tests have led to your diagnosis and how your doctor plans to deal with your situation.

    I hope you’ll join us in the group, and I’ll look out for you there.
