Bladder Irritation

Hi Ladies

I startted FEC last Friday I am doing okay but I am having a lot of bladder irritation. I know I am drinking plenty so going more often, but has anybody got any tips or ideas to help with this.

What a beautiful day outside going to try to see if I can do some gardening inbetween running to the toilet.

Hi Anne

I had 1st FEC 3 weeks ago and also had bladder infection. I must admit I left it for a few days to see if it would clear up but in the end I had to go to Dr’s and when they tested urine he said there was blood in water and gave me anti-biotics for 5 days. This cleared it up so I suggest you don’t wait but go and get it seen to soon.

I mentioned it to oncologist before 2nd lot of treatment and he wasn’t too concerned so I guess it’s something they’re used to hearing about.

Hope you get it sorted soon.

Hello Anne

Sorry to hear you have an infection.

I used to find anyway that the 24-48 hours after each chemo had me running to the loo, and on a couple of occasions at night, I only just got there on time

Hope it soon settles down
