I know that this news group deals with prostate cancer. I have looked for a
similar page for bladder cancer - but with no result. I also looked for a
page for chemotherapy - but with no result.

4 years ago I had a radical prostatectomy - and had good PSA's for almost a
year. Then suddenly first stages towards bladder cancer were discovered. I
had Calmette vaccine into my bladder for 6 weeks - the first stages were
removed - but they then found a tumour in my bladder. They tried a urostomy
operation - but the operation was stopped due to residives in the area. Then
chemo therapy for almost 5 months. The first steps of bladder cancer were
stopped - and both PSA and cystoscopies into the bladder showed fine
results. Almost 9 months elapsed - and then again with another cystoscopy
they once more found first stages towards bladder cancer. Another round of
Calmette vaccine into my bladder. And theI had good results during my tests.
Bravo.

However, since I stopped with my chemo therapy (Gemcitabin and Cisplatin) I
have - and have - severe problems with my right leg. Sleeping toes in both
feet (which is considered normal after chemo - and which probably will
remain that way). But then pain in different parts of my right leg - which
normally makes it rather painful to walk. Going by a bicycle is ok.

A month ago I had a talk with a doctor in the Oncological Department at the
hospital. They refused to accept that the chemo might be the cause for my
problems. And now last week I had a MR-scan which showed no metastases or
other problems with my back (they did not test my leg).

Can anyone help me? What are the experience from others going through the
same process or similar? I am convinced that the chemo is the cause to my
leg problems - but ..!!!!
