I am currently undergoing chemo and radiation for bladder cancer. Am suffering from diarrhea and cramping. Any suggestions on how to cope with these discomforts. I am a 72 year old male with no other physical problems.

    Hi Tom,
    You state that you are currently undergoing chemo and radiation for bladder cancer, so I am assuming the bladder cancer has metastased. Do you know the type of bladder caner you have: TCC, transitional cell carsinoma, RCC, Renal Cell Carsinoma, or CCC Clear Cell Carsinoma? Where has it metastased? Are you going to a major cancer research hospital? What stage bladder cancer have they put you at? Tell you doctor your systoms and he/she will give you something for them.
    If you have questions, feel free to email me.
