Hi everyone , I hope you are well.
Been a while since I posted . Circa 3 years ago I had a kidney removed due to cancer. then discovered I had stage 1 grade 3 bladder cancer.
Instead of bladder removal I chose 3 monthly bladder inspections . I have had 3 with the next one due on 16th March. The inspections have shown my stage go from 1 to PTA , with one tiny tumour removed on last inspection and the CIS I initially had on first inspection , disappeared on subsequent inspections. During this time I have had no meds or had any adverse reactions.
However , this morning I had blood in my pee for the first time since my kidney cancer. It was claret for the first 3 pees but Is now very watery.
Has any one experienced this scenario and any views/advice please.
I have notified my nurses. But obviously , I am now very worried , especially as It seemed things were kind of under control.
Many thanks!

Hi Pienmash, do try to keep breathing, so many here have indeed had recurrences but have had successful ongoing treatment. Just ensure you get a cystoscopy as soon as they can fit you in, eg emphasize you will take a cancellation/keep ringing in case there is one, depending on the system where you are.
Hope you get answers soon,
Denby
Thanks Denby, I am having a bladder inspection and CT scan on 16th March , so not long to wait. But the blood in pee has just come out of the blue when I am being so positive about everything...knocked me. Of course I am hoping It does not mean any thing serious , but you know , I do have cancer! Thanks again.
