Well I seem to be a bit of a Conundrum for the PCa Medical world. I was passing blood in my urine for 3 years, after 2 unsuccessful exploratory operations, I was told by my Urologist that, "I just had to live with it", so I did.
It started about 5 years after my ERBT, so I dont know if is was caused by the Radiation treatment.
It finaly stopped 3 weeks into an Experimental Trial, that I decided to take part in.
You can read my story at, http://www.yananow.net/Mentors/JohnF3.htm
If the bleeding has stopped, then there is every chance that it was caused by the radiation treatmentand may not reoccur, but of course if he is concerned, then maybe have it checked out, if only for peace of mind. Good Luck.
