Hello new hear and feeling at a low point got diagnosed with bladder cancer.

Hi Rictic,

Welcome to this friendly forum, but sorry to hear what you're going through.

Both red patches and passing blood can be symptoms of the BCG. I've had red patches myself and these were biopsied and come back clear.

I recall a numbers of other forum user's also posting of having red patches, which again were side effects of the BCG and nothing else. Have you had a biopsy?

It's incredibly worrying when something odd is spotted in the bladder and I hope you get your results back soon.

It's difficult to keep positive for sure when thing's seem to take a turn.

Keep drinking lots of water too keep things flushed.

Please keep us posted.

Wishing you all the best.

Trevor

Hi Rictic and welcome to this friendly and supportive group. Have you had your urine checked for a UTI? They are quite common after any bladder intervention. I have had red patches after each round of BCG and these have been due to inflammation. I hope you get your results quickly and that your fears are put to rest.

Love Ade xx
