on a routine urine test my P,C said I had High protein. I went back 2 weeks later to retest. He told me I now have microscopic blood. I retested again and had microscopic blood and protein. I met with a Urologist. He checked my bladder with a cytoscpy. then a CT scan then a Ultrasound. Now he wants a Uretorscopy. I have an appointment with a Hemotoligist/Oncologist because the Urologist says the CT scan shows Enlarged vein swollen kidney and swollen lymph node on my left side. I do not have any other symptoms and feel normal. I also have no health insurance and this is getting quite costly.( Financially and mentally). I have not scheduelled the Ureterscopy, because I want to see what the oncologist has to say. There is no cancer cells in my blood or urine. I also had a second opinion with a 2nd Urologist who told me that my condition is uncommon and recommends a Ureterscopy. How concerned should I be?
