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.

  • Hi unicornrider, welcome to the forum , I hope you find us helpful and supportive. I personally dont have experience or any answers to your questions about your mums symptoms, however , if your mum is struggling to pass urine I would say contact the GP or the Urology dept that is caring for her. I hope you get the reassurance, and your mum gets some treatment to alleviate the symptoms. Others on the forum may have experience of this and I am sure someone will be along soon to help you. Take care and best wishes to you 

    Much love Angela x
