Helo again folks, ina bit of a quandary. had my 6 initial BCG and just today had the rigid cyscoptotomy under GA. No catheter in when I came round, urine clear as the proverbial and was under for less than an hour.Happy days thought I. However the discharge letter states a biopsy was taken with results due in 3 weeks. Feel like it's not the result I was hoping for or is this a routine step or could it be the irritation from the treatment or original scarring site they are checking. I know we don't know and don't face anything until you know what your facing but. Wondering how I should frame this until I get the next appointment. I was non invasive high grade.20 weeks since anyone last had a look in there. 2nd Turbt was clear and just feel like this wasn't. Mmm mmm Thanks all.
My first cystoscopy following the induction BCG course (6 infusions) was a rigid blue light cystoscopy where they also took biopsy samples. Pathology of the biopsies was OK, so no recurrence in my case which highlights that just because they took a biopsy, the news isn't always bad.
