Blood in urine...

Hi everyone, I am wondering if anyone has had experience of cancer starting in the ureta tubes? Basically my mum has been passing visible blood in her urine for 3 weeks, she has more urgent trips to the bathroom, stomach ache and severe tiredness. The Dr gave her 2 different types of strong antibiotics to see if it was a UTI...
They didnt work. Then she has had a ultrasound on her kidneys and a cystcostopy both clear results. Next thing to do is a CT scan with contrast. Her blood results are saying she's positive for epithelial cells too.

She's struggling to pass urine now too. 

Any information would be greatly appreciated and best wishes to you all.  ️

  • I'm sorry to hear about your mum Unicornlover820.

    I can't begin to imagine what the both of you must be going through right now, but hopefully the CT scan will finally be able to shed some light on your mum's situation and give you some much needed answers and peace of mind.

    Hopefully some of our members who have experienced blood in their urine and have had the same tests as your mum will share their experiences and advice with you soon, but if either of you would like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their helpline is open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to give you the information and advice you're seeking at this time.

    We're sending you both all our support Unicornlover820 and will have our fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

    Kind regards,
