The final test and radiological review came back. The cytology of the urine sample showed no cancer cells, a most relieving conclusion. The CT Scan review came back fine, nothing but an ovarian cyst, which happens to be normal.
So, what about the repeated findings of blood cells in the urine samples? Well, the Urologist said sometimes kidneys can throw out extra blood cells. Sorry, I am skeptical, but I am willing to let the Urological studies go because I saw how healthy my bladder was, and I trust the findings of the Scan. Would I refer to this as benign hematuria? How can this be benign? That would mean it is inconsequential.
To sum it all up now, I was given a scare. In 2006 I had blood in my urine, and this year it was found again. Considering the indications of that finding and the length of time that it was going on, I thought I was going to have cancer. I do not have cancer and that completely ROCKS!
I'm putting a feed on my igoogle page to get your updates. i didn't know this was going on! glad it's all good news. love, julie
