Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic ..

I read your query and it seems that your father has been diagnosed with prostate cancer one year ago , and underwent radiation theraphy ..
You can ask your Doctor that your fathers prostate cancer is in which stage .
Blood in urine is not only due to plavix which is rare complication to manifest but advanced prostate cancer will have typical symptom of Blood in urine.
Therefore I suggest you to start treatment for your father by radiotheraphy or surgery in ealier as prostate cancer is treatable if found earlier.

Hope this information helps you.
Thanks & Take Care.
