@1608hope, waiting is hard. I'm glad that you have an appointment with a specialist to rule out cancer or something else serious going on. The symptoms your describe do not necessarily indicate cancer, but they do require further investigation. Have you had blood in your urine? Is it discolored?

My primary care physician prescribed a lower abdominal spiral CT that clearly showed a tumor. You might ask your physician to do the same. In addition, start calling the urology group every day and ask if there has been any cancellations. I was able to save a six week wait by doing that. Good luck to you.

Join the club. In my area there is a 3-4 month wait for any specialist.

Absolutely call a Urologist. Call your your primary to see if they will give a script for a CT scan. All urologists want a CT scan.

I went to the ER when I was urinating red blood. I knew the urologist I wanted so I had the hospital call the doctor's office.
A little trick that might get your appointment sooner. Ask to speak to the PA for the doctor. Almost all doctor offices will have a PA. The PA got me in to see the doctor in 1 week. I did send the PA the CT scan report from the hospital. She said I was an urgent case.

Hang in there and go with the earliest urology appointment you can get. AND make a CT Scan appointment NOW so your urologist can see your bladder on the scan, at your appointment.
I had the same symptoms as yours.
I got a CT Scan a month ago, and the tumor was there .
I am going in this week to have it removed. Be proactive, and schedule appointments. PLEASE DON'T WAIT.
