Cancer scare

Posted , 1 user is following.

I am a 53 year old male with type 2 diabetes mellitus.  I'm 240lbs weight. 5'11"

Last February 3, 2017 I went to my doctor because I was peeing more than what I should be. They did a UA. They found microscopic hematuria in my urine with rbc 3-10hpf.  They sent me to a urologist.  The urologist did a rectal exam and another UA.  Then they did a CT scan of my abdominal and pelvic area,  a PSA blood draw, and a cystoscopy.  They said the only thing that they found was fatty liver, gallstones and moderate right lobe hydrothtophy of prostrate. That everything was normal.  So this reassured me for a little while. Then I started thinking they missed something.  I started running to my doctor every other day. I had a few fainting spells. Over the last year I've had 2 CT scan of my head, numerous  blood draws, and 4 chest xrays.  Everything came back normal.  Two years ago I had a colonoscopy and they found 1 polyp.  They said it had no way of becoming cancer.  They found bilateral inguinal hernias.  My normal Doctor said I was suffering from depression and anxiety.  She put me on effexor xr 37.5mg. Then she upped it to 75mg. Then sent me to a psychiatrist.  They upped it to 150mg.  Now I've had some stomach bloating and lower back pain.  Do you think they have missed something? Do you think I have cancer or is it just my anxiety? What could be causing the bloating and back pain?
