I had my first chemo yesterday and I know I will see some reddish/pink in my urine from the adriamyacin (sp) but I think that this may be blood as its somewhat chunky?? TMI, I know.
Anyone have this?

    I checked on epocrates and
    I checked on epocrates and discolored urine is a common side effect. See below for common adverse effects of adriamycin. However, if you are not sure, call your doctor. With cytoxan, I had bloody urine and I had to skip it a month as my onc said it can cause a sterile cystitis that can lead to bladder rupture. When in doubt, always call.

    Adriamycin Common Reactions
    leukopenia
    thrombocytopenia
    nausea
    vomiting
    anorexia
    diarrhea
    mucositis
    stomatitis
    esophagitis
    alopecia
    facial flushing
    urine discoloration
    hyperpigmentation of nailbeds
    onycholysis
    CHF
    hyperuricemia
    venous streaking
    radiation recall rxn
    photosensitivity

    Check with your oncol. it's nothing to mess with. Cytoxan caused blood in my urine. Had to go to a urologist, have cat scan of bladder and kidneys, then a bladder scope. All clear just have to heal but it's taking a long time. I've been on over-active bladder meds for over 1 year and every test still shows some blood.

    Call your DR. and ask.
    Urine was indeed quite 'pink' for between 48 and 72 hrs (was warned to expect) but I never had any clumps/globs/'thingys'.
