I was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis before I was diagnosed with HR positive breast cancer. With my oncologist approval I have been using a dab of estrogen cream on the urethra opening and it was helping a lot. I also take mybetriq daily for over active bladder. All was well for the last 8 years. I’ve been on anatrozole for about 8 months. I recently had a UTI but that has cleared up but I’m still having painful urination but no other IC symptoms so I don’t think that’s it. The pyridium I take for the IC isn’t helping. My urologist wants me to see my gyn. I see her on Nov 7. Hopefully she finds out what’s going on. I’m so afraid it’s bladder cancer.

Welcome, @ghanneken10. Just wanted to let you know that I hear your worry. Getting any symptoms out of the ordinary makes one leap to the worst case scenario. You did all the right things, so now it's the hardest part - waiting another week for your appointment.
Has it been confirmed that the UTI is gone?

I have been on anastrozole for 2 months. I don't like the side effects. I'm thinking about quitting but I want to wait until I can get into the oncologist in 6 weeks. I can't offer any advice other than to try to think positive about your bladder issues, and see what your urologist thinks. Good luck to you.
