@8ea, welcome. If I'm understanding correctly, you have not been diagnosed with bladder cancer. However, recently you had blood in your urine and are concerned that it might be something serious, possibly cancer. Do I have that right?

Blood in your urine (hematuria) can be caused by many things. Your can see the list of causes in this Mayo Clinic article:
- Blood in urine (hematuria) https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/blood-in-urine/symptoms-causes/syc-20353432

It may be related to the frequent UTIs, a kidney infection, a kidney stone or the kidney disease itself.

I strongly recommend that you contact your doctor to investigate further. You could make an appointment with your primary care physician or your urologist or nephrologist. But it should be investigated. When is your next scheduled appointment?

My next appointment is with my nephrologist in January. I don’t see the urologist for about 6 months. My last blood and urine tests were on 10/11 just a month ago. Do you think that if there is anything wrong, it would have been detected then? Thank you for your response.
