Alan,
Thanks for the continued support. Yes I have an appointment. I ended up going with Shands - associated with the University of Florida. I have an appointment with a woman doctor urologist who does a lot of bladder cancer work.
It is a little bit of a longer drive from St. Augustine than Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville would have been, but a cardiologist, who is the sister of a good friend of mine, highly recommended Shands. So I went with Shands. I called this morning (Tuesday), and I have an appointment for 9:30 on Thursday morning. My husband is going to go with me, so all in all I am feeling pretty satisfied right now.
I agree, I don't want to jump to any conclusions as to whether I do or don't have bladder cancer. But I do want to have someone try to track down why I am urinating so much blood. Two episodes today.
I am glad I am not waiting another 2 weeks just to have a consultation visit.
I'll post back with whatever the news is. Thanks again for the words of encouragement.
Laura
