If I had bladder or kidney cancer, would I have worse symptoms by now?

Do you not think you would be really ill if you were about to drop dead?

As I said before you have believed you have cancer for years now.

Get on with living not waiting to die

Ok so an update...I went to the urologist and he didn't seem very concerned that my symptoms were indicitive of cancer, but he still wanted me to go through a CT scan or a cystoscopy mostly for peace of mind. My main symptom is mostly lower back pain on the left side of my back.

Unlike last time at the walk-in clinic, my urine dip stick test came back normal. No trace amounts of blood, no sugar, no protein, which is a bit reassuring as I read that people with cancer tend to have high levels of protein in their urine. They sent the sample out for a cytology to find any malignancies, and I'm hoping and praying everything is normal.

So do you believe now that you don't have cancer?

Unfortunately, cytology isn't the end-all be all but it's a good sign if it's negative

So my cytology came back negative for any unusual cells and malignancies, which is a good sign.

I ended up having to postpone my CT scan that was supposed to be on Thursday....Now that I heard the news that Alex Trebek lost his battle to pancreatic cancer, I'm so scared that I doomed myself by waiting....I should have gone to the hospital on September 21st when the blood in my urine happened. My symptoms aren't that severe, but they still come and go. Sometimes its lower back pain, sometimes its pain right in between my shoulder blades. And then I broke out in hives on election day, which I'm scared was related to whatever caused the blood in my urine and my lower back pain...I can't help but feel like I have cancer and it spread to other organs.

I know my Cytology came back negative, but that test has a high failure rate :(

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company...a church....a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude...I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our attitudes.”
