Mr W has had blood and bacteria in his urine despite repeated antibiotics and various alternative treatments 

Our Gp is frankly useless so we have decided to use private healthcare 

Mr W has had various tests and ct scans and yesterday a flexible cystoscopy which showed no major problems in the bladder Thank goodness 

Next step us a ureterscope and biopsy of an area that showed on ct scan When this all began almost 6 years ago an area of the ureter was biopsed as it was deemed suspicious but it was deemed not indicative of carcinoma in situ It was subsequently biopsed again a couple of years later with the same result That was actually after Mr W arrived at theatre to be told OP cancelled no scope available and we had a further 2 weeks wait 

Mr W also has to be circumcised something he isnt looking forward to During his time on a ventilator with Covid the consultant feels the catheter caused damage which is why his last 2 flexis were difficult to do 

Not sure what I want to ask maybe anyone had any similar experience 

Best wishes
