Just wondered if anyone else has gone through the following
finished my radiotherapy a month ago and up until a week ago apart from extreme fatigue, pain on left side, everything else was going smoothly. Apart from a week ago I am constantly going to the toilet, might as well sometimes stay there. During the night up every hour. Spoke to my team who said get an urine test to see if I
have an infection., I have no pain. passing urine, anyway been to doctor for test and it’s now gone to a lab for further testing. I have white cells in the urine, he couldnt tell me anything else. Have to wait 48 hours for result.
I am now worried something else in going on . Any advise would be appreciated
Hi Smileymo. I know radiotherapy can aggravate the bladder and the effect of the radiotherapy continues for several weeks after the treatment actually finishes. Hopefully your doctor will confirm that it’s nothing to be worried about - please keep us posted
Hi Smileymo
My dad gets that and he is not aware of an infection but he has one grumbling around . Your team will sort you out but I think people think the worst when going through treatment which is totally understandable but it’s often not serious .
Take care ,
