Feeling scared

About month ago started peeing blood lasted about 8 hrs. Ended up was infection but because was so much blood sent me for bladder scope was clear apart from redness they say from infection. Now done ultra sound for kidneys no results yet. I've got health anxiety and now have pain under ribs and round my side. I'm so scared I have cancer. Doc checked bloods and everything normal red and white cells kidney liver etc. But I'm still scared can't sleep or eat. Someone talk to me.

It's sounds like everything's fine - the infection obviously was nasty and caused the issues. It's good they've checked everything and anything suspect would of shown up in your blood results so try not to stress. You know you have health anxiety so it's just your mind playing tricks, the pain could well be manifested by your anxiety. I had side pains and convinced myself that my spleen was rupturing - I had a scan and the pain went when they told me I had normal results. I think our minds are much more powerful than we give them credit for.

Let's us know how you get on but in sure you will be just fine X

Yeah your probably right as if I'm out or have friends here I don't feel the pain. It's the first thing I think about when I wake and the last thing I think about before trying to sleep. It's been 4 days since scan and I just keep thinking if something was wrong they would have contacted me as had a relative who got bad news but was told very next day. Thankyou for reply it helps to talk to people. X

a  little blood in your urine just means a bladder or kidney infection not cancer so stop your worrying

Was alot of blood well looked like alot of blood that's why they doing ultra sound as was alot. Button had any more since so I hope your right.

well I hope you are OK after the ultrasound

I'm freaking out canny eat or sleep how long do you think I'll have to wait on results was done last wed morning x

give them a call tomorrow to see if the results are in.  

I'm sure they would have contacted you if there was a problem - remember, you know you have anxiety - that is all it is. Xx

Yip your right great at giving other people information but can't seem to take it in myself. Thank you... Both of you x

Sounds like you had a very bad urine infection - you've been scoped - and I assure you that if it WAS cancer they'd have found it with the scope.

If it was cancer, you'd still be seeing a lot of blood in you pee. Cancer doesn't hurt in the early stages, and even if it did, the pain under your ribs and round the side is not a symptom of bladder cancer.

If all your blood tests were also normal, you haven't got cancer.

So accept that this is your anxiety reaching a new high, and call your doctor for the results of the ultrasound on your kidneys. PLEASE come back and tell us how you're doing.      love Tess

Thank you test after a night that felt so long. I'm terrified I've started to loose weight even though I'm eating but my husband says it's nerves from being so wound up. I have a little girl who suffers from severe anxiety and just wonder if it was something serious then how would she cope :-(

OK so this is the worst I've ever felt today. I want to scream. Can I have kidney cancer?? My head feels like it's going to explode. I don't want to do anything. Work becoming an issue as don't want to do it. I feel helpless. Surley if was anything wrong would have got in contact by now last wed was my scan and know someone who got bad news very next day. My head says stop being stupid but every thing that's happening I can link to kidney cancer as I have Googled it so much. HELP!!

Apparently doc has just received scan results today. Surley after 5 days if was anything they would have put me in an emergency pile? Or am I just hoping. Woman I spoke to not allowed to give me results must be a doc so now more waiting .

Carole - I'm sure you are fine. They would have called. In sorry this is so difficult for you and i truly understand. It's easy to spot others anxiety rather than your own. Making judgements is hard but in sure you are fine - tell the receptionist you are going out of your mind with worry and they might speed it up for you X

I tried but they just said it had to be a doctor that she couldn't tell me going to try my own doc rather than specialist she said they might know xx thanks gaby feel as though I'm going mad. Might make app with doc to see if there is anything I can take for my anxiety this is getting ridiculous.

That's not a bad idea because anxiety always rears its head in different ways. Keep us posted xx

Just been on Google and a radiologist said they only don't tell you if it's something bad so now my heads all over the Place. God why did I look it up.

I'm not sure why a radiologist would say that!?

Think about it, all scans are checked initially and double checked by consultants. The radiologist would take a suspect scan very quickly to a consultant to highlight any problems - I'm sure you are fine.

Google is our worst enemy!!

Yeah I'm sure your right. Thankyou. X
