Hematuria 9 months after SBRT

[LBRV711]

Hi Everyone,

I had no side effects after five sessions of cyberknife at NYU Langone. PSA after three months went from 5.9 to 2.2 to now nine months post treatment at 1.3. All looks and feels good. About two months ago I started having hematospermia - blood in my semen, which is still present. The oncologist and urologist both say this is normal, yet I haven’t read about it on this forum. Now I’m having occasional blood in my urine. It’s not constant, but it is present on/off and although it’s not constant and it seems light, it has been unnerving me quite a bit. Again, the oncologist feels this could be from the radiation, but my urologist has scheduled me for a cat scan and cystoscopy to rule out bladder cancer. Just when I was feeling good about things I get hit in the head with this. I know I’ll be on this rollercoaster for life, but sometimes I just want to get off and just bury my head in the sand. I know it sounds stupid and ignorant, but I just felt the need to vent. I’m disappointed and feeling alone once again.

Thank you all for listening.
