Urine incontinence

I have triple positive breast cancer. I went through 6 rounds of TCHP . When I would be getting chemo in the actual chair I would actually pee myself sometimes! After my 4 round of chemo I noticed that I leaked urine when I would sit down in my car, work out and ride my bike. It’s not a lot of urine. I actually feel it coming out of me!

I never leaked urine before having chemo. It did not start until after my 4th chemo. I finished chemo a month ago. I had Herceptin last week and it was worse on the day of the infusion. It’s improved since my infusion last week but still happens a couple times a day. Not a lot. I don’t need to change my underwear. It’s urine spots the size of a dime.

Anyone experience this? If so, did your doc tell you what caused it? How long did it last? Anything improve it?

Thanks so much for read and responding
