Brief Answer:
Could be constipation.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Stools would have an orange color post chemotherapy and radiation for bladder cancer due to small amount of blood present in them due to constipation.

I would advise you to do a FOBT and stool culture test.

I would also advise you to take syrup duphalac 30 ml after dinner with your doctors advise.

Regards
