My father(age 55) has had blood in his urine for the past 3 days. A urine culture was done which came back negative. He has had lack of energy over the past year. He also smoked 3 packs of cigarettes a day for about 30 years(He quit 8 years ago). His mother and sister died at a early age with colon cancer (54 & 70 years old). He went to the uriologist today and they ordered a IVP to be done tomorrow morning. They didnt think he should wait any longer. What else could this be besides CANCER??? Any information you could give me would be very helpful!
