Ginnie... Just this week, I, too, had a urine panel done and had positive epithelial squamous cells, positive protein level (30 mg/dl) and mucous in my urine. Of course I started searching for what this may mean, as I have heard nothing from the doctor. But, of the things that are positive, I read that epith squam cells are simply skin cells, completely normal, and indicative of a bad "catch" during the collection process.
Please don't panic... Call your doctor!

I have had pre-cancer in my throat, DNA changes with Barretts esophagus, so I am of course worried. This is my family here on NT, and I sure need some composure right about now. Been on and off sick since Feb. Got a vacation in, but got sick there too, so I do know something is going on. ginnie
