  • Hello Sushaz and thanks for your post,

    I am sorry to hear about the pain you have been experiencing.

    If you haven't spoken to the hospital do let them know that it is continuing four weeks down the line.

    It is important to continue to drink at least 2-3 litres of water. There is always the chance that you might have an infection which is why the pain is continuing. You may need a course of antibiotics so do let them know.

    There is a charity called Fight Bladder Cancer and it has some more information on treatment side effects.

    I hope that over the next few days things improve but do share this with the nurses and doctors at the hospital.

    If you would like to chat to one of the nurses on the helpline you are welcome to give us a call.

    The number to ring is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open Monday to Friay 9 am to 5 pm.

    All the best,

    Catherine
