A.
You are known to have a kidney stone. Thus, it does not surprise me at all that you are passing small amounts of blood in urine which is not visible to the naked eye. We call it microscopic haematuria. Even though the stone has not moved over a long period, it may still cause asymptomatic microscopic haematuria. I am not sure why your doctors suspect bladder cancer but I am sure they have a reason which was not given to me in the history. But cystoscopy, when done by experienced hands, is a very safe procedure. I must allay your fears by saying that it is a routine office procedure and carries very small rate of any complications. And, unlike your deceased fathers prostatic surgery it is a minor procedure and not classified as surgery. As far your history being prone to cut easily is concerned, I am sure doctors must have investigated your bleeding tendencies and they will ensure that this does not pose a threat to the planned procedure. So, I suggest you need not be anxious and get these tests done.
