Blood in Urine

My wife, who is on Avastin and Taxol, had a very large amount of blood in her urine this morning. ( completely red )
We have an Onc appointment anyway today, has anyone ad a breakthough into the kidneys or is it just the Avastin ?

Help please.

Thanks Jo, I am a bit worried as I cannot find a link from Avastin to Kidnet failure

Been to see the onc. They have not admitted her but we have to go back at 4pm to see an urologist.

dear Terry

I googled ‘avastin blood urine’ and found a ‘chemocare’ site which suggest that avastin can cause damage to the tiny blood vessels in kidneys. It also lists ‘blood in urine’ as a symptom which requires medical attention, but is not an emergency. I konw from my own experience that cystitis can also cause blood in urine, something which was very alarming at the time but resolved itself.

Best wishes to you and your wife, I hope this is simply a side effect which can be fixed.

She is having her " system" washed out and then we have to watch for any more blood. If there is any tomorrow then it is off to Emergency. Otherwise we have to collect all wee until Friday morning and have it tested then. Ultrasound then as well.
Back to Onc next Monday, >i think this means the end of Avastin/Taxol.

I will advise how it goes
Thanks to all.
Terry
