Hi
Firstly I am not sure which group to put this topic in as my TCC tumours were found in my ureter, but I am currently with the bladder cancer team. (Kidney or bladder?)
History
Tumour found in 2016 whilst removal of kidney stone. Very low grade and was lasered - no other treatment
2017 suspicious tumour found in same place - again lasered - came back inconclusive. Treatment plan watch and wait...
Regular 6 monthly checks ureteroscopys and now cystoscopies. Last one was in October and was absolutely clear. Have been upgraded to not be checked for 9 months.
Ok so issue now is I am due my period (I am 49 so they are very erratic). Friday night I noticed my urine was red and presumed period had started. However it still hasn't. I have just been to the toilet and no period but a streak of what I think is blood. Still no period so to speak.
I am having some pain but this is not unusual when period is due. However I am trying to convince myself it is my period acting up but of course I am a bit anxious.
Do I wait and see if period starts or if I see the blood again or do I call doctor tomorrow (I am thinking of it being Christmas and don't want to bother them unneccessarily)? Don't want to seem to be over reacting either.
Thanks in advance
Kind regards
Jane
