After suffering with blood in my urine for three months after being told numerous times " There's no infection "
I requested to be referred to my local hospital, and within a week i was called by the hospital to go there.
Not realising that ut coukd be anything untoward I went to the hospital only to be told that i had cancer- it was horrendous!!
After biopsies and an operation to remove the tumour I was told that it was the most agressive type and that if I had been made to wait another three months by my doctor it would have been too late.
What followed was ten years of immunotherapy BCG treatment and was told that i had an 80% chance of my cancer recurring.
And also as a footnote my sister had the same experience with a different doctor in a different area " no infection ".
It wasnt until I rang her doctor and explained my circumstances that they took her to hospital - TOO LATE FOR HER SHE DIED THREE WEEKS AFTER ADMITTANCE
WHY CAN'T DOCTORS ACT ON THE SAFE SIDE AND REFER PEOPLE use the significence that after three " no infection " tests think that it might need investigating
