Hi Anet,
There are many reasons the blood may appear in urine or the bladder not emptying. While the word "cancer" is distressing to hear, I'm glad that your urologist has ordered a cystoscopy to rule out a serious condition like @verteran1950 says. It doesn't necessarily mean he suspects cancer.
How have you been this weekend? It's hard to control anxiety over the weekend. When will your husband have the cystoscopy?

Hi, he is having an ultrasound of the bladder on September 10. The cystoscopy hasn’t been scheduled yet. Actually we had a good week-end. Went car shopping on Saturday, to church and out for lunch on Sunday. After looking up more information I feel better about his situation. Some things that I found can cause blood in the urine are blood thinners and aspirin, both of which he takes and antibiotics. He had just finished a round of antibiotics for bronchitis. He did smoke for a long time, but quit 5 years ago. I think that was part of the urologist’s concern. Also, the fact that he had a normal urinalysis three months ago and a good report from his kidney doctor seems like a plus. Thanks for responding. When I have more information I will post again.
