Blood in urine after BCG treatment: Is this normal?

I think I've had some, but I'm on a blood thinner, Eliquis. When it seemed certain, I stopped one dose and it stopped the bleeding. Other times, it may have seemed red in the urine, but could have been discoloration from Uribel.

I had blood and was also on blood thinner Eliquis. Paused the BCG treatment one week because of that. Urine sometimes as dark as cabernet wine. After getting my Afib under control, Cardiologist had me stop the blood thinner. Urine eventually cleared up. However, I failed any benefit of BCG. Going for third BC surgery this week followed by Adstiladrin treatments. Hope that works. Cardiologist installed a loop recorder to make sure the Afib stays under control and to (hopefully) keep me off blood thinners.
