I finished Radiotherapy in early February following Hdr Brachytherapy and still often have rather disturbed nights 3-6 toilets visits have tried Solifeocin tablets even on an increased rate which didn’t work for me. I have now been referred for an intravesical iAluRil injection into the bladder for Radiation cystitis, has anyone experience or thoughts on this please?

  • Hello  

    Thanks for your post - I am sorry to read of your issues.

    The injection you mentioned is a new one on me so I searched the site to see if it's been mentioned before and can only find this one link from the Bladder Cancer group:

    I hope this helps. You could try asking on the Bladder Group - here's the link you need:

  • Had my first treatment last week went well with a great nurse, left my with some catheters to practice on myself which has gone well so should be able to give it to myself after tomorrow’s appointment over the next few months, really hoping this is going to help!
