BLOOD IN URINE WITH CABAZITAXEL TREATMENT

User
Posted 08 Jul 2023 at 07:41

I AM BEING TREATED FOR METASATIC PROSTATE CANCER  SINCE 2009. i HAVE HAD SIX CYCLES OF DOCETAXEL IN 2010 AND 2022.  AT PRESENT I AM HAVING CABAZITAXEL, TEN CYCLES SCHEDULED., AND I HAVE ALREADY HAD FOUR CYCLES.  THE CYCLES ARE THREE WEEKS APART. A WEEK AFTER MY THIRD CYCLE I NOTICED BLOOD IN MY URINE. AFTER NEARLY FIVE WEEKS I AM STILL HAVINE IT. AT ITS WORST THE COLOU IS LIKE  PEPSI IN A BOTTLE. OTHERWISE IT IS LIGHTER AND COULD BE LIGHT ORANGE OR PINK OR ANYTHING IN BETWEEN.

THE URIN HAS BEEN TESTED TWICE AND IT HAS NO INFECTION. I PASS URIN WITHOUT ANY PAIN OR IRRITATION AND DO NOT SUFFER FROM  ANY OTHER  SYMPTOMS. THE TREATMENT IS WORKING AND MY PSA HAS COME DOWN FROM 68  TO 25. HOWEVER SOME OF MY BLOOD TESTS ARE SHOWING  SOME ABNORMALITY ESPECIALLY THE  HAEMOGLOBIN WHICH HAS DROPPED TO 8.8  FROM  11.3. I AM DUE TO HAVE A CT SCAN SHORTLY TO ESTABLISH THE CAUSE.

I WILL BE GRATEFUL  TO  HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THE MATTER.

THANK YOU

NOEL

Hi Pissu

Have you been checked for bladder cancer? Blood in the urine is a symptom

I have it and my haemoglobin is very low. Don’t panic if you do.

It might be Stage  1 low grade . Mine is high grade unfortunately 

All the best

HI Roly,

Thanks for the response. I am having a CT CAP scan soon to find out the cause.

Cheers

Hi Pissu

Blood in pee is a symptom of several illnesses from a UTI to cancer so don’t get 

too concerned at this stage. 

All the best

I have had my tests done three months ago and found there is no bladder cancer and it was blood from the proste  itself. I have had six doses of RT  to the prostate to stop the bleeding.

I am now continuing with my cabazitaxel.
