Bicalutamide and blood in wee

Hi Robbo68, sorry to read about your Dad’s situation.

I’ve just looked at the cancer research UK website and blood in urine is listed as an occasional side effect. But it also says to report any blood in urine immediately.

Best wishes,

Hiya yes I read that although it doesn't say so in the side affects sheet in the tablets.  Think I may give nurse a call x

i had a trus biopsy had blood in my wee for a gd 2weeks after it , no other problems

Thank you.  Were you on any drugs with it and how soon after biopsy did the blood start?  He's 10 days after but had a water infection after it that he ended up in a and e with infection so there's a number of things it could be.  He doesn't have a temp or chills.  We're away for the weekend so just trying to assess if we need to get home :-(!  Left a message for nurse but of course it's Saturday.

hi there , no not on any drugs and the blood in my wee started pretty much straight away . 

some days there was blood in it others not very sporadic !

it is a well noted side effect of a trus biopsy 

Thank you.  There's so many things it could be unfortunately it's just trying to sort out if it needs urgent medical advice :-(! Dad wanted to see how he went so that's what we did.  He seems much better today temp gone down, his strange sensation he said he had had gone and upto now no more blood so long may it continue.  I've asked him to get a water sample checked tomorrow at docs so we'll see what happens.

glad he's feeling better , its maybe the infection he caught more than the bicaltumide thats fatigued him .

i didnt have any problems on the bicaltumide but everyone is different and reacts differently to it . 

have u got a psa number for him yet ? 

really hope u get gd news from the biopsy
