Have some questions

I wouldn't speculate on her question. I have learned to my detriment I don't ask enough questions back. I probably would have been the same so don't feel bad. The obvious question was why do you ask? Plus, did you see anything? On my own scan the radiologist typed in "no tumors visible or present". My very thorough URU actually read it also and saw my small tumor so who knows what if anything was seen. Doesn't make any difference though. The cystoscopy is also part of the diagnosis process. BOTH together are needed.

I also remind you back to Jack's answer of possibilities on a stone, cyst etc. Sometimes the cause of bleeding are NEVER found! You simply have to wait...and that is no fun. Let's just hope it is nothing.

Never heard that swollen feet are a symptom of bladder cancer. The internet and TV are a wealth of info and a lot is bogus, false or misleading. Heck, you watch ads on tv for prescription meds and after all of the "potential" side effects I am not sure ANYONE would take ANYTHING. Stick with your professional team....yes they can be off sometimes also that is why I encourage people to listen to their bodies and give them as much information as you can....including swollen feet.

Has a cystoscopy been done? That combined with your scheduled CT scan are the 2 more definitive tests. Until then you know nothing. IF, and only IF those 2 require further follow up, usually a TURB (transurethral resection of the bladder) and will be a minor surgery done as day surgery and only then after a biopsy will you really know what you may face. If the 2 tests show nothing they may do a few others BUT, some never ever find the cause of hematuria.

Bundy,

Jack has given you a good possibility including a cyst or a stone. There are many other possibilities that are NOT bladder cancer. I am presuming a cystoscope has not been done yet which is the short peek into the bladder. I won't say it is any fun but, I describe it as uncomfortable more than painful and over in 5-10 minutes. The waiting is no fun however, you simply will not know anything concrete until all the tests are done. Even then a few people NEVER find a reason for passing blood. I personally know 3 people that have gone through that including my wife. Sometimes long distance runners encounter this. The best advice I can give is take one day at a time.
