Just venting for a bit ... no emergency that I'm aware of.
I'm 3 weeks post TURBT No. 3. (Still high grade non-invasive)
The blood in the urine has been weird this time. First week, very, very little. Then a week or 10 days goes by and I passed a decent amount of blood over the course of few days. Some of the clots were hitting the marginally large measure, but they were passing. Stopped my blood thinners for a few more days. And this abated and back to yellow I went. Also resumed my thinners ... 'cause my heart doc doesn't like 'em held too long.
But, here were are on day 21 or so, and I'm passing some blood and clots again. Last wee had a couple "clunkers" in it ... clots big enough I can feel 'em leave and hear 'em hit the water.
With any luck and a lot of hydration -- this, too, shall pass.
I just sometimes get so tired of it all.
I see my general practitioner Apr 3 and my urologist Apr 8. If nothing gets worse, I'll simply inform then and see what they have to say. Naturally, if I get blocked, I'll get more immediate help.
Thanks for letting blow off steam. I appreciate you all!
Hi Mark. Sorry to hear you are feeling a bit down. It is understandable. Not just the physical side of things but also the psychological side that can get on top of you. I hope you get some positive news when you have your upcoming meeting. Best wishes.
