First Surveillance Flexi

Hi Ade 

Thank you  hope your keeping well i will try to what a lovely experience i had yesterday at the hospital infact im ringing them today to say that i found their diagnostic unit superb very private with a nice small team and feel every hospital should have one for BC patients 

I wish they were for me, don't how you guys manage it so well, I really did not mange my first well and my second was even worse. 

I'm glad some people don't experience it like I did though so in pleased for those don't find it hard. 

Get your hands crossed on your chest big deep breaths and relax as much as possible I know easier said than done worked well for me yesterday but not the first time as I was very anxious

I tried to be relaxed the second time now I knew what to expect and it was even worse than the first time for me. 

I just can't relax even slightly, the nurse and consultant both said after you really can't handle this can you? I said no I was really trying hard to relax as I'm sure that makes it easier I just can't. 

They said they would have to look at other options going forward as I can't keep putting myself through that even though it lasts a short while. 

So for me it isn't easy at all, she did say people react very differently and some people just can't handle it at all. Some handle it much better and it's slightly easier for women than men in general. 

I understand that Si if it’s not for you it’s not for you I hate it to be honest but I know it’s necessary sometimes it’s the person doing the flexi I found both of mine poles apart my first was really uncomfortable

It does make a difference if you get someone gentler doing the cystoscopy
