Awaiting results investigations

hi I’m new to this forum
I’m 68-year-old lady with a lovely partner and a beautiful 27-year-old son who is my world

I have Blood in my urine which was first found on the 10th of October when I went to the GP with severe stabbing pains in my back since then I’ve had two more tests both have blood in the urine I had an ultrasound on my kidneys I was it still experience intermittent severe pain I called my GP again Who urgently referred to urology department for further tests.
The nurse  in urology called me and asked me a number of questions and  informed me I was not a high risk patient as I did not smoke she referred me for CT Scan i had a CT scan last Wednesday and I’m  awaiting results The CT nurse told me it could be up to 2 weeks I have all the symptoms of bladder cancer

I am very anxious and upset. I don’t know where to turn. I feel I’m in a void and nobody cares. I’m considering taking myself to A&E and queueing up for hours

  • Hello Minie

    Welcome to the forum. Almost everyone here knows what it is like waitiing for results it is the worst part of the process. Anxiety takes over your life. Talking to someone close about your concerns can help with this. Once you have a diagnosis, and it may not be cancer, you can get on with getting treated. For some reason this bit is easier once you have clear path forward. Unless your symptoms really worsen there is not much to be gained from going to A&E. Wishing for a good outcome for you.
