I understand your paranoia, as I'm two years on from ovarian cancer. I'm sending you massive virtual hugs [[[]]] and I have everything crossed for you that it's simply an infection. Does you doctor know you can't sleep? I take something to help me sleep when it gets to me.

I'm so sorry to hear about your poor husband. x

I agree with Charley and would add that last time I had a utility the gp joked that I was handing him a bottle of risen.

Yes, a few weeks ago I had precisely the same as yourself. Even after the second lot of antibiotics, I still had symptoms but slowly, with extra fluid intake, I returned to normal. Please try not to think that it is anything sinister- you have done the correct thing and seen your GP who is monitoring you very well.

Any advice or comfort? I had a urine infection last week. Went to my GP and she said I had bacteria and blood present in my urine. She gave me 3 day supply of antibiotics and asked me to come back the following week to do another urine test primarily to make sure the blood had gone. I did that,but there was still a trace so she has given me a week's supply of a different antibiotic. She will ring me on Thursday to give me the precise lab result. My problem is that I'm terrified that it is cancer. My husband had bladder cancer 14 years ago,it was terrible. He had his bladder removed. 3 months ago he was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer and I know that this could be causing my present state of paranoia. I can't sleep and can't think about the prospect of me getting ill as well. I do a lot of the Childcare for my daughter and I'm just so worried all the time. Have any other Grans experienced urine infections that weren't sinister?
