Hi . I've been having alot of utis and for the last few months all the symptoms of a uti bit no infection found . My rbc is consistently high for the past few months in all urine tests . I'm now having trouble passing urine . I have to bend right over and push as if for a bowel movement and it's foamy snd bubbly.
For the last 6 weeks I've felt totally drained . It takes all my energy just to manage a shower . Previously very active . I saw the Doc on Friday and was reffered on the 2 week referral for suspected bladder cancer and I'm having a cystoscope on Friday Does anyone think my symptoms sound like I may have cancer please. Also my urine and bladder have a burning sensation. No infection. Thankyou for any help

Hi Nannynoo and welcome to the group. Some of the symptoms you describe could be associated with bladder cancer but could also be caused by many other things. We know how worrying the not knowing and uncertainty can be but be aware if it does turn out to be bladder cancer , then BC can be treated successfully. Good to know you are having a cystoscopy. A fairly straightforward procedure and you will be able to see for yourself if anything untoward is going on in your bladder. The doctor will talk you through it. Lots of us have been there so feel free to ask anything. I hope it goes well. Best wishes.
