Question: I had to be rushed into hospital last week as I was in absolute agony. I had a blocked bladder and the doctor inserted a catheter which relieved the pain. There was blood in my urine 5 days prior to this which was very dark brown. At the A&E the doctor took a blood sample and 2 hours later told me that they had checked it nd there was nothing wrong with my kidney or liver. I am worried because I don't know what has caused the bleeding in the first place. When I was 17 I had testicuar cancer and he the testicle removed and had prosthesis fitted. I m 45 now and have had no problems. What are the possibility that I may have prostate or bladder cancer. I have had no other symptoms and run regularly to stay fit. I have quite a stressful job. I had a thorough check up with my doctor 18 months ago and had several blood tests taken and an ultrasound to check my abdomen. All was find although I decided not to go for the prostate test (PSE?). I have tried to look up what may have gone wrong and the closest thing I found was renal (something or other) or kidney stones. What do you think it might be?

When they checked my blood sample in A&E would they have checked for cancer cells and if there was anything really wrong would they have kept me in or sent me to see a Urologist straight away instead of telling me to wait 7 days for confirmation of an appointment?

Hello and thank you for you response, but you didn't answer my concern regarding the blood test that was taken. Would the hospital have checked my blood for cancer cells on the day I was admitted and should they have kept me in for more tests to try and find out what was wrong. I was given 2 full doses of morphine on the day so they knew i was in unbearable pain. Should I have stayed in hospital for more tests?
