Hi all
I know I've been away from the group for a while, we are moving house so every spare moment of my life is spent packing and sorting. My son has moved out and is having a baby so it's been busy busy.
Anyway.....a week before my 12 month Cystoscopy was due I started to get the pain again so I asked my GP for a urine test. It came back with no infection, high white blood cells and high red blood cells (70).
I had my Cystoscopy which was clear. So consultant requested another urine test, kidney function test and a ct with contrast. I got the results of the urine test today, no infection, high white blood cells, high red blood cells (169). That has more than doubled in 4 weeks.
I'm a mess with anxiety. I'm exhausted. Real exhaustion. I have my scan on 24th, it seems so far away. I can't get any info from my specialist nurse as to what this may be or why it's happening or even what they are looking for.
Gonna be a long few weeks
Sending love to all
Clare
Hi Clare. Sorry to hear about your anxiety. It is understandable when you have no answers for the high blood counts. Good to know your cystoscopy was clear, so that's one less thing to worry about. I know it's a long wait, but hopefully they will get to the bottom of it. Congratulations on the news of your forthcoming grandchild. Best wishes.
