Sorry for repost, misworded last one. had ultrasound, uro says saw something, thinks its blood vessel calcification, maybe stone. could it be cancer?

Phlebolith: Ultrasound of your kidney / bladder / prostate? There are often little calcium flecks in the vein walls down there. They're called phleboliths and aren't a concern. Cancer isn't going to announce itself as "just calcifications" without a mass.
