Hello all
Not been about much recently as I find it easier to cope if I try to forget about bc as much as possible so apologies but I am back as my anxiety is increasing again recently and people here are so sensible and knowledgeable that I always feel better with the kind replies I have had in the past.
I was diagnosed in June last year and felt fortunate, post TURBT, to be confirmed pTa G1 Low risk. I was also clear at my first 3 mth check. I have just had my appointment through for my next flexible cystoscopy in late June, 1 year from TURBT and 9 mths from the first post TURBT check. I don’t know why, perhaps getting the date for the next check made it all seem real again, but since receiving that appointment, my anxiety has been slowly increasing. I worry it has already come back (I get this weird thing where sometimes before going to bed I want to pee again and again, every minute or so but there is very little voided. It only happens occasionally and only in the evening). I don’t have other symptoms and dont know whether I am just being a bit neurotic.
I didnt have symptoms last year and was only diagnosed by chance due to a scan I had for other investigations so I think I worry a lot that as I didnt know it was there last time, how will I know if it returns. Don’t know if this makes sense.
Hope you are all doing ok.
Blue.
