What were your symptoms of Bladder cancer? Scared I have it.

Posted by nihssa12 @nihssa12, Sep 30, 2022

Two years ago I started to have pelvic pain. Many ultrasounds later I dragged on by my gyneo who eventually changed her mind and sent me to urology. I’ve been peeing blood clots and have micro hematuria. Also been peeing mucus, white and black sedement. I still have pelvic pain.

Going to finally get a urinary and kidney ultrasound and a cystoscope come November.

I honestly am terrified and feel like I already have cancer and that it’s too late for me. That I’m destined to die.

Any stories or reassuring testimonies?

I’m a male. I had zero symptoms. It was discovered during a routine visit when microscopic trace blood was in my urine analysis. I’m 5 years in. I just went through BCG, success so far. Don’t give up, do your research. Pray.

I would ask them to also do cytology on that urine specimen, that was the first test I had that was positive for cancer cells. I lost almost 3 weeks being treated twice for urine infections and having cultures, before they finally checked my urine for cancer cells.
