Hi DanL,

So sorry to hear you got hit with the BK virus. John had it too along with haemorrhagic cystitis from the Cytoxan. His circumstances are different in that he did not have a BMT but he was without a white count for about 3 months. I can't claim that cranberries had anything to do with his healing of the bladder but after consuming a variety of cranberry dishes over a 4 week period, his bleeding stopped.

As you know, hydration is critical as is a good white count.

It will clear at some point.
