concerned and confused

Yes ma'am. I had the cystoscopy, ct scan, they checked the kidneys All checked out fine. But now a year later the bleeding has returned. And although I felt the urologist was thorough, I didn't have anything to compare it to and he didn't offer any further explanation other than there's no cancer and follow up every three months.

Yes, I have urine sticks that check for blood. It shows Large amounts. I do not have kidney stones and I did a home test for UTI. So I just don't get it.

Did you have the blood in your urine confirmed? Sometimes red urine can be from food colors like beets. Do you have kidney stones?

I am not sure if this is where I am supposed to put this post, as I have not been diagnosed with bladder cancer, but am new to the site.

About a year ago I noticed blood in my urine. I went to my primary care doctor, who in turn sent me to a urologist to have some test performed. After undergoing several test, all came back revealing no cancer. GREAT Right??? I was told to followup every three months for urinary testing. I thought, well I do not have cancer, been treated for UTI, why followup every three months?? I thought and still think that was a bit odd...

However, now, the blood tinged urine has returned....each day the amount and color increasing (about five days now). I did a dip stick to let me know that I have LARGE amount of blood in urine.

I do not have any burning with urination, a tad bit of increase in frequency, but not urgency, and only the same pain in my right lower pelvic area as before.

I guess my question .. anyone out there experience the same thing?? Is there something I am missing??
