Can urine tests show anything?

LizM

The reason I am asking is because last Thursday I had my annual gyn appt.  They took a urine sample and paps test.  I just received a call today to call my gyn's office.  Now I am worried that something worrisome was found in either my urine test or paps test.  For some strange reason I am more worried about the urine test than the paps test.  I had a paps and HPV test a year ago and everything was fine.  I know that my gyn normally does not call if everthing came out fine.  What type of tests do they run on your urine?  Is there anything in the urine that could be worrisome for recurrence?  I guess it could be some type of infection or an abnormal pap.  I just hate going to the doctor because they always seem to find something.  After a cancer diagnosis it is hard to trust your body again and I always think something is going to go wrong again.  Can anyone shed some light on urine tests?

Protein in the urine can be kidney problems or maybe there's too much sugar there.  I've got my fingers crossed for you!

I'm now thinking that it is possibly a urinary trac infection.  I am hoping that is all it is anyway.  I was just reading that loss of estrogen can be a cause of UTI's.  Since my oophorectomy and being on Arimidex then Femara, I have come to realize that an estrogen deprived body can have a whole lot of problems.

I posted on your other post, but urinalysis doesn't tend to have any positive findings which relate back to breast cancer.



Probably insufficient pap smear cells or low grade UTI.



Sorry about the tension; I get it too.

I know how you're feeling. A year or so ago my onc scheduled an appt after my bloodwork. I was FREAKING! Turned out I had high blood sugar. I would guess it's nothing related to cancer and I will keep my fingers crossed that it's nothing serious!
