Hi: My name is Phyllis and I just have a few questions.
I had a UTI about a month ago and the dr. sent me to get my urine checked. Unfortionately they forgot to call me with the results until last week. They said there was blood in my urine and The dr. referred me to a urologist. My question is: Does that mean that they suspect bladder cancer?
I do have symptoms of bladder cancer but they could not get me an appointment until January 16th 2025. I have read a lot about this and I decided to at least do an alternative treatment until I can see the doctor.
I'm doing the lemon juice and baking soda with 8 oz. water and also rubbing frankensence oil on my tummy. At least I don't think these alternatives should hurt since I have to wait so long to get to see the doctor. Has anybody that you know done one of these alternative treatments and it helped?

Hi Phyllis, I'm unsure as to what they might suspect. It's hard to say. For me, that's what happened to me. Blood in urine. PCP ruled out a UTI, and I was sent to a urologist. It took quite some between the time the blood in my urine showed up, waiting for what seemed like an eternity for an appointment with the urologist ( about a 4 to 6 week wait for new patient), actually seeing the Urologist and then surgery (cancer removal, then resection).
I have never tried any of the home remedies you mentioned. I personally relied on my Faith. That was all I had, as I had no real answers for what seemed like forever.
Best to you 😊
