last night they did an ultrasound of his bladder, my mother is in the hospital with him waiting for a urologist to go over the results. That may be happening right now, I don't know. He hasn't any procedures done recently. The time he had anything done was about 6 months ago. As for how red it was, I don't know. I didn't look, I'm sure you understand why. My mother and father described it as having a lot of blood in his urine. That is all I know. The only other symptom he has had is that he says he is very weak. He looked it to me before mom took him to the hospital and he looked pale. Also when he went in the hospital for the 2nd time, his hemoglobin was a little low. One other good thing: the test that was done six months ago was to a precaution to see if he has any cancer in that area. The test came back negative. Mom(who was a registered nurse for 40 years) says that makes it unlikely that it is cancer and if it is, it can't have progress very far. Of course that doesn't mean I am not worried that it is cancer, I am. I am especially worried because a man his age with heart disease and diabetes doesn't need to be fighting cancer.
