Have you been checked for a fungal infection? 25 years ago I had chronic UTI's that were treated with antibiotics, but kept coming back. Or getting worse. Until some bright doctor tested for fungi. He didn't find any, but gave me an antifungal anyway. Never had an UTI again, except for once during my first pregnancy.

You need a high dose of Diflucan to get rid of the fungus once you've had several courses of antibiotics. The good bacteria in your system keep the fungi in check, but are killed by the antibiotics.

PS> And no, I have never in my five years in breastcancerland heard of someone having mets to the bladder of kidney's.
