Hi -
I have now been diagnosed with IC for 4 years. Over the course of those 4 years I have accumulated a big handful of other disorders the most recent of which is scleroderma. I started seeing a rheumatologist and he has strongly encouraged me to do a 6 month course of low-dose cytoxan. My biggest fear is the potential for "hemorrhagic bladder" as a side effect.
Have any of you had any experience with cytoxan infusions? Did it have repercussions for your bladder? Any insights or experiences would be helpful for me.
Thank you!
