What Causes Painful Urination With Pus Cells In Urine?

Hi can you please advise. I have been suffering from pain in right lower pelvic area for 18 months after a polip was removed late 2009. I was also undergoing Herceptin treatment for Breast Cancer. I have had scans and blood test but all ok. but urine has PUS cells. Got recall from Dr for more urine tests. It hurst inside before and after I urinate and the pain radiates through to by lower back on right side. I know it is hard to detect bladder cancer, but i know my own body and something is wrong! My Mother died in Jan 2006 with CUP and Secondary cancer in Liver, spleen and pancreas. My husband died last August with seconday stomach cancer in spine. So you may understand why I am so worried.

dear madam.
i can appreciate your worry.
but after reading your history i am of the opinion that it is a urinary infection. even urinary stones may have such symptoms.
urine tests with few blood tests can detect it.
the detection of bladder cancer is not so difficult. a USG and a test called cystoscopy may detect it. cystoscopy may be done as an office procedure even under local anaesthesia.
so please go to a urologist and have your complete checkup.
