New Here with question

"Hope all of you here get better and never have to deal with cancer again."

Amen to that!

I hope your brother stays healthy.

Good morning.
Yes, they did find infection present, and he is on a 7 day course of antibiotics. But an infection wouldnt caise the reactive urothileal cells. He is scheduled for cytoscopy. SaraAnn's response helped us all relax we will wait and see what that turns up, hopefully nothing. I feel for him, he's been through so much over the last several months, and It seems he just can't quite completely recover and get a normal urine flow back since the TURP surgery. The cells really gave us all a good scare. The possibility of hearing that word in one of my moved ones is an awful feeling. Hope all of you here get better and never have to deal with cancer again.

Thank you so much. Maybe with this he will sleep tonight. Blessings !

Hello,
I am here because my brother has just been given his lab results and it says that he has reactive urothileal cells present in his urine, but no malignancies. We have a very heavy family history of cancer, so this has us all very scared. What does this mean? It's going to be over a week before he goes to see the urologist and this is torture having to wait. If anyone can please give us some information about this I would be very grateful. If this does mean bladder cancer, what should we expect from his doctors? I think I should mention that he recently had a turp procedure done, following a bilateral hernia operation. He developed urinary retention and was catheterized for several weeks. After TURP he was fine , until recently he began having trouble voiding, and went to his pysician, and they ran a cytology on his urine. I am giving you what it reads below. I thank you in advance for any information you can give me.

This is exactly what his lab report say's:
NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANT CELLS
REACTIVE UROTHELIAL CELLS ARE PRESENT
