My husband completed his radiotherapy for PC October last year. February PSA was very good but he has start to have blood in urine the past few days.
What could this be? has the cancer pushed out of capsule has it changed to a more aggressive kind?
Next oncologist arranged for July it is 4 months?
Can anyone help is this something that happens so so soon after RT
Thank you as always

Good Morning EmanSh
I understand this is an ongoing issue and you did have an appointment with your husbands oncologist a couple of months ago - did this not resolve the issues of a low blood count and blood in his stools and urine?
Blood in urine 6 months after radiotherapy is quite common and can be caused by radiation cystitis - this weakens the bladder blood vessels and causes them to bleed.
You need to contact his team, advise them of the bleeding and they will investigate the cause and take any action required.
Best wishes - Brian.
