Glad they found out what was wrong and getting the treatment for it. I had a round of recurring UTI, like every other month, that turned out to be a symptom of something else. After months of tests, including two types of ultrasounds, they finally did a CT scan and the results were uterine cancer. When they did surgery they found that it wasn't cancer!! It was an infection on the outside of my uterus, tubes, ovaries, and bladder from diverticulitis. That's why the simple antibiotics weren't getting rid of it.

If it had been correctly diagnosed 6 months before it might not have gone so far and I wouldn't have lived with the cancer diagnosis for a month and being told we would discuss chemo and/or radiation after surgery. I might not have lost all my female organs either.
