Hello again,

My husband was been diagnosed with T2 bladder cancer middle of February and is worried as he is still peeing blood. He had the tumour removed and is waiting for treatment. He had an UTI but the infection has cleared (5 days ago) after taking a course of antibiotics. Is it normal to pee blood 6 weeks after the operation? 

  • It is not uncommon to see signs of blood after a TURBT, especially after a UTI, but always best to check with the medics. Important for your husband to keep drinking lots of water to keep things flushed out. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.

  • Thank you so much for your quick reply.  I think drinking water is the problem with my husband, even with a small amount of squash in it.   I will keep on with the nagging.    Thank you again for your re-assurance.

  • Hi FloGlow,Pear juice can be soothing for the bladder.I always used to drink it when I had Interstitial cystitis as it caused the least pain.Jane
