I'm in remission. Found out I had a UTI. I'm a man & didn't even know men could get one. 1st round of antibiotics cured it for about a week. Different antibiotic for another 10 days. That didn't do it. Another round with a 3rd different antibiotic finally did the trick. Don't ignore it. Take care of it.
This note is about awfully bitter but effective unsweetened CRANBERRY JUICE, not mixed with any other juice.
It doesn't kill any bacteria in the bladder. However, when taken daily Cranberry juice makes the inside wall of the bladder slippery. This helps to keep the "bad" bacteria from sticking to the inside of the bladder so that hen you pee, out they go.
Another point: it's important to pee following sexual intercourse. It keeps the risk of developing a urinary tract infection (UTI) down by flushing out unwanted bacteria.
These are not cures, only deterrents.
UROSEPSIS can be life-threatening.
If you think you have a UTI you need to see a doctor ASAP to take antibiotics.
Keep in mind as our team member, JimValladares mentioned, it can sometimes take more than one course of treatment before the infection is cured. Thank you for sharing your experience, Jim!

An untreated UTI can become UROSEPSIS and that can kill not only people like us with cancer but even people without cancer and a weakened immune system .
See your doctor and increase your liquids
Yes Donna I agree get to your GP for a urine test and an antibiotic
@A MyLymphomaTeam Member Good morning, Rhonda and Gia, the one and only. Thank you for all the information on how imperative it is to call the doctor for a UTI. I keep forgetting that we are no longer the same, and we cannot fight these infections by ourselves.
Have a beautiful day and kiss Gia for me. π₯°.
@A MyLymphomaTeam Member, good question. Take care of yourself and keep us posted. I hope you feel better and have a beautiful day as well.
