What Causes Recurring Bladder Infection And Blood In Stool In Cervical Cancer Patient?

I am in stage 2 cervical cancer have finnished treatment have been doing well recently caught bladder infection. Got tablets have helped but when i astop taking tablets it returns. Have been taking 1000 miligrams cranberry capsules twice day. Recently i used dialtor medium size few days later i noticed bleeding when i went to toilet then again but not every day. I am really terrified cancer has spread. Am due for check up very soon.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Bleeding is mostly due to bladder infection and trauma caused by dilator insertion.
But we should definitely rule out cancer spread because cervical cancer is commonly spread to bladder.
So get done cystoscopic examination, CT scan of pelvis and if needed PET scan of pelvis time rule out bladder spread.
Better to avoid unprotected dilator use.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
