Hello, I am posting here as I don't know what else to do. My mother has been for some tests following having some bleeding when urinating. She was sent for a smear test, cytoscopy (prob not spelt correctly) of the bladder and an ultrasound scan. She made an appointment with a GP last week and he advised there was a mass on or near the kidney and a potential abnormality at the hip. From what I can gather the GP said it was cancer but didn't have a copy of the scans available at the appointment which I found strange. She is going for a bone scan and then a CT scan before going for an outpatient appointment for the results. I am just finding this whole thing completely frustrating and overwhelming, mainly as I went through Cancer with my husband two years ago. I am really scared it is very serious especially as she has been hving some hip and back pain and a cough. I am so worried her about whilst trying to deal with barely any sleep as my first daughter is 5 weeks old. Any thoughts welcome.
