Hi, it can take a while to get to a bladder cancer diagnosis and that is super frustrating: https://bladdercancer.net/living/delay-in-cancer-diagnosis The thing is, though, if you are bleeding and it isn't stopping and you are in pain that doesn't seem to end, it may be worth thinking about calling a doctor or even a trip to the ER. I know it's a pain in the butt, but if things have been real bad for real long, that's sometimes a sign something may be cooking, so to speak, at least for me. Either way, just know you are not alone, and if there's anything we can do from here, let us know. Keep us in the loop! Keep on keepin' on, DPM
