I hope this helps a bit - I know you're worried about cancer. My dad was dx'd with bladder cancer almost 20 years ago, and it was a quick dx...I am assuming (just assuming) that if it was bladder cancer with you, that you would already know, given the tests they've done already. Also, it's pretty rare in someone so young, so do remember you have the odds on your side, OK?

Oh - and if you smoke, please stop TODAY! After dad was dx'd, we learned that bladder cancer is second only to lung cancer for cancers caused by smoking (or it was at the time). Weird, huh?

When I was about your age I went through a period of back-to-back bladder/kidney infections as well...I was in grad school, and health services did not know what to think. Finally, I got better...this was before I was dx'd, but I do look back and wonder quite a bit now!

I hope you get results soon - waiting is the pits!
