Bladder cancer worry

Hi 

I have just had what I thought was a UTI for the second time in 2 months but this time they sent my urine off and it came back with no infection but blood in urine. All I can find is that bladder cancer is the cause. I am so scared. I am 60 carrying a few extra pounds and a type 2 diabetic

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    Blood in the urine can also be due to some kidney conditions, as well as various bladder issues. Unfortunately, we cannot be more specific than that.

    Hopefully your GP will let you know what they plan to do next, if they need more clinical information. They may suggest referring you to the hospital for further tests. Try not to worry too much, and be mindful of Googling too much, as it can increase anxiety rather than help.

    I hope this helps,

    Best wishes,
