How long do painful bladder spasms last after chemo/radiation therapy

@Gracis - I had the bladder spasms and hourly - if not more frequent urge to pee- prior to my RC, The meds completely took my appetite away and I lost 35 pounds. I wish I could provide a reason for your pain and spasms but it may just be side effects from what you have been through and taken a while for your body to react. I would reach out to your medical team again if there is not a change soon. My best Linda Urbanski (moderator, Bladdercancer.net team member)

So sorry
I have Stage 2 High Grade Carcinoma Bladder Cancer.
Diagnosed May 30; the 2nd anniversary of my son’s passed by…. I was shocked
Since I have two TURBT surgeries and started BCG last Monday.
A rough week… 5 more to go


It’s so scary

Hi Meehan, I’m a little anxious I start BCG on Thursday, 26. Just got the appointment today. I have been waiting for 3 weeks to start, I was told I had to wait after my blood transfusion, that was a month and half ago. I’m ready for this next step.
