Last week I had my 3rd urine test. On the bus on the way to the appointment I downed a 1.5 Litre bottle of water, as I had to give a larger sample than usual because Sally, the nurse wanted to send off some for cancer screening.
The nurse tested my urine and hooray!!! No blood or protein present!!! BUT instead of moving on to the next step, she now wants me to come back in about 2 weeks time to do ANOTHER sample and IF that one is also clear of blood and protein, then i definitely wont need those other tests.
Obviously I am pleased at the result of my latest sample but also a little disappointed as I really thought that having a clean sample THIS time round would mean that I wouldn't need to do those other tests. So fingers crossed that my next and hopefully final sample will be clear too!!!
I understand that they have to air on the side of caution and rule out everything that could affect my ability to be a donor, but it does get a little frustrating sometimes.
