Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
If this is blood in urine then the cancer is not first thing to think of since there are some much more common benign causes such as urinary stones uroinfection or prostate hyperplasia. But in every case further evaluation is required and you should do urine analysis, cystoscopy and kidneys ultrasound for a start.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
DR. Ivan Rommstein
