Being tested for bladder cancer

Hi all, i am new here and I am getting ready to have CT urogram and cystoscopy. I have thickening of the bladder and blood in urine. I have had a few symptoms so I figured I would start there and learn what symptoms everybody had too. I have pain in my right side of my belly and my lower back. I have pain in my right of my groin. I haven't seen blood in my urine yet but I guess it is at 18 in my urine test. I have frequency in urinating every hour at night. It takes forever to go and it takes awhile while going. I don't getting burning and pain while going but not everything. I have constant pain i my arms and legs bones. My throat lymph near my jaws are always swollen and hurt. I know I'm missing something here but it's a start. I don't know if everything is a symptom of bladder cancer but I am adding to see. Let me know what your symptoms are or is. Thank you

  1. I meant to say i have burning and pain when peeing but not all the time...sorry

    1. Hi . Welcome to the community! I hope you get some answers after your tests. The wait for tests and answers can be the worst. I'm guessing you've read this already, but I wanted to share this article about bladder cancer symptoms just in case: https://bladdercancer.net/symptoms. Hopefully, others will chime in with their own experiences. I hope your tests reveal that your issues are caused by something easily cured or fixed. Please let us know how it all goes. We'll be thinking of you. Best of all wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
