Hi guys,
basically, since wednesday morning my dad has been urinating blood. he went to the doctors later wednesday morning as an emergency appointment. he was given two sample bottles for his urine and took them back the following morning. The samples were sent off to the hospital yesterday afternoon and now he's just waiting on the results.
I am concerned for him as from the symptom checkers i have seen online, it leads to either kidney stones, urinary tract infection or bladder cancer (!) and i'm really hoping it isn't the latter. All this that is happening is not helping my anxiety levels at all and i'm finding myself getting an upset stomach, headaches and just generally worried about his health.
I am just wondering if anyone has been through a similar situation before with themselves, a family member or a friend, and what did you do to keep your anxiety levels normal?
I know there is no good in worrying before the results are back, but it just runs through my mind constantly that there's a possibility he has something sinister lurking in his body :unsure:
