@lacy2 Thanks for your response. Did both you and your husband have radiation cystitis? Any bleeds? Does it progress quickly? Any inflammation in your bladder? Has diet helped?

@jeffy1 Hello. My radiation was decades ago and it took quite a few years for it to develop but urologists have said caused by radiation..,,.hve been dealing with it on and off for a few years.... confusing as mixed in with uti's. Visible blood in urine on and off for several years myself... they showed me while camera inside bladder, just spraying liquid (water?) onto bladder inside "walls" made it bleed. Recent years the urologist said if he blew on my bladder walls they would bleed... so its been a bit of a nightmare. Husband also has issues but mostly bowel was affected ... as you know radiaton affecdts the bones and just about everything .. mine especially as 1985 not as precise. We both have sort of ibs-d. Price we paid for surviving cancer. Trying to be brief ... we no longer eat spicy food etc but thats more related to colon... we are open to discussing if it helps .. seems no quick fix for us and now older just cope with it ...
