asked

I'm a 31-year-old female with a history of multiple UTIs and a kidney infection that required a PICC line and a 7-day hospital stay. I recently experienced blood in my urine and small clots, and my urologist found my bladder to be extremely inflamed during a cystoscopy. My urine test came back negative for bacteria and cancer, but positive for occult blood. I'm scheduled for a CT scan with contrast and a bladder biopsy. Could this still be cancer despite a negative urine sample for cancer?
