Recently my mom has been having dark brown urine on and off for past 2 weeks. Water sample is saying no infection. Blood test only shows slight sodium concern .
Still waiting for ultrasound appointment. My dad had bladder cancer so know the symptoms. Could severe dehydration be the problem.
Would pancreatic cancer show up in a routine Blood test. My mom often complains of feeling nauseous some mornings.
Am I just panicking for nothing.
Thanks
