My daughter has ovarian cancer dx 2 years ago chemo ever since then, scans are clean, last week had thrush and that has cleared up, still having bladder problems, burning sensation while urinating, cannot seem to empty bladder completely, temp 101, clean catch was clean, bladder wall appears thickened on a ct this AM, has been on Gemzar , counts went down and now up with Nulasta shot, 2 lymph nodes in groin swollen and 1 lymph node in neck swollen, on second series of Cipro. How does bladder cancer appear and is it comman with OVCA?
Hi,
Any change in the size and shape of the urinary bladder on IVP indicates bladder cancer.
The main symptoms are blood in urine, pain in the back, pain while urinating, feeling the urge to urinate without result.
Cystoscopy is an important tool to find bladder cancer as it looks inside the bladder while
IVP only visualizes the outside of bladder. I would suggest you to discuss this with your urologist and get a cystoscopy done.
