Has anybody ever heard of breast cancer recurring to the bladder/kidneys?

[KellyA]

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your replies- I am so glad I wrote in. The current med (Levaquin) is NOT working- that's #4) and I am miserable.

Put a call in to my gyn and waiting to hear (do they not know these are agony and require a call back within a few hours?!) I am very very suspicious of a fungal inf. and want to try the diflucan. It is hard not to worry about something else though... trying to be positive.

Love,
Kelly

I am late to this discussion - and I found it when searching for threads on "bladder" as I am worried about me ... after I started chemo and Herceptin my bladder is well, tweaked --- and then I just saw the thread from the other day on Ki67 that linked this to "bladder cancer" (along with otheres) so.... was again, a bit worried.

My oncologists are trying to get me into see a specialist for the bladder - so I'm waiting on that.

I don't have an infection (they tested - twice!) but I feel wierd and seem to use the bathroom every hour (hour and half) and it is not normal ... feels tight and like you have an infection coming on --- strange.

So, we'll see-

FOR those who are fighting bladder infections (don't blame your husbands!) ;-) Try some d-mannose - it works great and usually cures anything (that is e-colia based) .... and helps over all if taken often.

I have used it lots in the past and it always works. I was using it daily for months during chemo - and that is when this all started.

You can take it up to every 2 hours if you are having a bad attack. (I like the powder) - sending a link here to some:

If anyone has similar experiences with bladder issues with Chemo/or Herceptin - please let me know. thanks!
