So I went to the dr today and I told him what was happening. They made me take a urine test and it came back negative for a UTI. My urine did have very trace amounts of blood in it though...I asked him about renal cancer and he right away said there was no chance it's that simply due to my age alone...They want to do a STD culture for chlamydia, and he told me to follow up with a urologist.
I just left so much more confused...I feel like if I was having a kidney stone, I'd be having worse pain than I am now. All I can think this can be is cancer :(
I asked myself one day, "What if I actually don't have cancer? What if I'm not really dying? Then surely I'm alive and should be living."
Not a doctor or a psychologist, just a guy who's been to a lot of them.
Yep my pee tests have shown traces of blood but the doc said nothing their to worry about.
I didn't get pain with my kidney stones - didn't even know I had them.
It is not cancer - like many others I get traces of blood all the time in urine samples.

But two weeks ago, my urine was very pink. As I said then, my urine looked like grapefruit juice, then rose wine, and then clear. But then came the UTI symptoms, and with the dip stick test becoming negative, it seems like the only two possibilities are kidney stones, or kidney/bladder cancer...And kidney stones have more pain than what Im in...I can't stop thinking that its cancer...
And now Im wondering if this is another type of cancer that metastasized to the bladder like pancreatic cancer or colon cancer...
Even though the Dr said I'm too young for cancer like that, he wasn't any specialist, he was a walk-in clinic doctor....And look at poor Chadwick Boseman...He was only 39 when he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer...
Is there anyone on this board that has experience with bladder cancer or kidney cancer? Do I have a reason to be concerned with my symptoms?

Okay, so my symptoms went away again with Cipro, but my round is almost up and I'm terrified to get off it because what if the symptoms come back? What if there is something else causing a recurring UTI? Could it be cancer? Could it be kidney stones?
