Suggest Treatment For Lymphoma Bladder Tumor
My husband has been diagnosed with a lymphoma bladder tumor which is blocking his bladder. He has had nephrostomy tubes for a week to drain the kidneys. His major issue with pain is bladder spasms and pain and pressure in his penis. His oncologist does not want to prescribe medicine for bladder spasms as he feels it is probably just pressure from the tumor. Any suggestions on other ways to handle the pain of the bladder tumor/bladder spasms?

Your husband's problems are simply because the tumor is blocking the outflow of urine and the bladder in between keeps trying to overcome the obstruction leading to spasms. This will take care of itself as soon as the treatment for the lymphoma starts, that is chemotherapy. So, get it started as soon as possible. Meanwhile take some antispasmodics for the pain like tab drotaverine.
