Blood in my urine - am I okay?

[KnottedYet]

JanB - my warmest thoughts for your husband. I'm sorry to hear he has prostate cancer, but very grateful it was found!

There are many support groups for both men and their wives/husbands. It's nice to be around folks who know what you're both going through, also nice to be around folks who have so much information about the same situation. I've found cancer support groups to be very valuable, maybe you could try one or two and see if they are something you are interested in? (not that I'm pushing it, just that I "breathed a sigh of relief" when I found one)

Best wishes to both of you!

It sounds like you have microscopic hematuria. Yes, it is normal. Some people have it, some don't. I don't, so if red blood cells show up in my urine, then there may be a cause for alarm. The key is knowing what is normal for you. If you actually see blood, then *that* is a problem.

Thanks everyone. I still need to pick up the phone and call my doctor. Figured I'd give her a few days to get the results.

Hey Di bear, where are you? I'm 5 miles north of Calumet. Hmmm, if Hancock is north of Up North, and Calumet is north of Hancock, what does that make me? Oh, that's right, practically drowning in Lake Superior! Okay, not quite. Welcome! I wasn't sure whether to say this in my icky thread or in your icky thread .

lol - I'd prefer your icky thread. North of Calumet, wow! That's just way out there. Are you going to Copper Harbor this weekend?

If you're free, some of us are doing a MTB ride at Tech at 130 today.

Di bear - I'll send you a PM

Thanks everyone for your encouraging words & support. I really appreciate it more than you all know.
