    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had some blood in your urine. It's good to know that you've already seen your GP, and they have referred you to a specialist. 

    It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about what may have caused this blood. Try to keep in mind that your symptoms could be caused by something other than cancer, so try and remain positive if you can. 

    Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for your appointment but if it would help to talk with one of our nurses in the meantime you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    Do keep in touch and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
