There's blood in my urine. A completely red urine sample was what I gave the UrgentCare doctor today. I'm on vacation out of state and my onc's nurse advised me to rule out UTI. The sample didn't indicate infection and was sent off for more analysis. Results in 48 hrs.
Urgent doc, Dick Lynch ( that can't be a good sign) said maybe renal cancer...heart stopped and held back tears... Is anything health related going to be cancer from here on out?
I called onc and she convinced me it's probably not renal cancer (she said "no way, you had a clear scan two months ago", but I can't truly believe in "no way" anymore).
I do have a cyst on my right kidney that's never caused problems. I have no discomfort, so kidney stones not likely.
Onc said an ER trip for CT scan would be the next move if worsened. I'm seeing onc on Monday anyway for routine visit and I've added a GYN to Monday as well. I do not want to end my vacation nor do I want to spend it in a hospital. I'm planning on holding out for home.
Should I be scared?
Thoughts?
