Peeing a lot

Hi, I have had 2 x 6 chemo and am now in remission. I have found that I've started peeing lot. Does this mean my cancer could be back? My cancer markers were very low last month.

Hi CazI suspect that, if your ca125 is low, this may be more about sensitivity caused by chemo. Chemo can make skin and all tissue susceptible to reactions and local infection. Maybe have a chat with your CNS about this and get some advice on calming things down xx

Lyndy is a voice of reason :) I can only speak for myself, but any sx puts me on edge because I didn't listen to my body the first time! Of course, it could be a sx, but is it, probably not? I agree with Lyndy and chat with your CNS. Maybe get a urinalysis. But by all means, listen to your body. I don't know when your next CA125 is, but you can always ask for another earlier.

I was having horrible diarrhea and I thought my cancer was back just two months after I finished my first rounds of chemo. It turned out I had colitis -- probably from the chemo per the GI to speak again to Lyndy's point.

It's worth listening to your body, but a lot of things a lot more benign than cancer can be wrong and it is more likely than not it is not the cancer.

It just means you are peeing a lot unless you have blood in urine or lots of discomfort while peeing
