Hi and thanks for the query,
I understand after such surgery and radiation, its but normal to feel disturbed if blood keeps coming. This is however not very rare in bladder disease or cancer. The cause of persistent bleeding for sure has to be sought and fixed. This might require q careful urologic assessment by your surgeon, to exclude a recurrence of the cancer, inadequate radiation nor other disease like an infectious process, which could complicate so much the healing process. I strongly recommend you consult your treating surgeon. Kind regards.
