Metastatic Prostate Cancer - Passing blood in urine

Hi Friendship , sorry your OH is experiencing problems.  I noticed that nobody had responded after 2 hours (which is fairly unusual), so I imagine that the problem isn’t that common.  Unless anyone comes back to you, I definitely think it’s one for the professionals.   Do you have a cancer nurse specialist you normally call or perhaps the MacMillan help line ask a nurse link would be options (I can locate the link on my iPad but hopefully someone will respond).  Best wishes, David

Thank you David. Yes, we have a specialist nurse and I’ll will be contacting him this afternoon. I just thought someone may have experienced this problem as I know how helpful, and supportive, everyone is in this group. 

 Friendship , hi again, I have just found the link to the MacMillan 
Ask a Nurse 

so by all means try them.  David

Hello Friendship 

I agree with David2017 it is a question for his team or back to the GP. I have just read the PIL (Patient Information leaflet) for both Prostap and Enzalutamide and they don't mention blood in urine as a side effect although it says there can be other "rare side effects".

I hope you get him sorted, please keep us posted.

Best wishes - Brian.

Hello Friendship . I don't know whether this will help but my first thought was that it could be a side effect of radiotherapy.

I hope you get it sorted soon but it does suggest it is one for the experts.

Thank you David.

Thank you Millibob, we’re going to speak to his team to see what they th8nk is causing it. We’ll keep you posted. 

Thank you for this information. 

Yes my husband has it too. They have done tests. They reckon its bladder stones   he is awaiting a second operation to help him.. he had it before . It can also be painful for him ..fingers crossed for you x

Thank you for your response. We’re going to get in touch with the Cancer Team to see if they can shed any light on it. Thankfully it’s not currently causing pain.
