Anyone had gross hematuria weeks after completing GemDoce induction?

Posted by gemdoc25 @gemdoc25, Feb 1 6:14pm

I completed 5 sessions of GemDoce on 12/9 and over the past few days have been experiencing intermittent hematuria. No pain, and urgency has decreased dramatically over the same period. Otherwise feeling fine. Oncologist nurse says not to worry, but I am worried. Has anyone had similar experience.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bladder Cancer Support Group.

@gemdoc25, did the blood in the urine (hematuria) resolve? How are you doing?

Thank you for asking. I still have some minor hematuria, which my doctor is not concerned about. They say I should hydrate more, which I am lax in doing, but will try harder😊.
Had my follow-up cystoscopy on Thursday, (mentioned elsewhere) after gemdoce induction period. No visible cancer. Start monthly gem instillations next Friday. Feeling fine.
Best wishes.
