Why am I having bathroom accidents during cancer treatment?

Don't waste energy feeling bad. Pee happens! I have my 6th & final chemo treatment tomorrow, March 26. I have noticed an increase in urgency too. But I have been drinking lots of fluids. My nurses say the effects of chemotherapy are cumulative. Ask your doctor if it's bothering you. They will have helpful advice. ❤️ good luck

Bladder control issues during cancer treatment are more common than many people realize, and there's absolutely no need to feel bad about yourself. Many treatments can affect bladder function, and this side effect often improves over time or with adjustments to your care plan. It would be helpful to mention this to your healthcare team, as they may have practical suggestions or solutions to help manage this challenge during the remainder of your treatments.

You are not alone. Pelvis radiation was my culprit, but I’m thankful to be alive. I have worn pads occasionally.
