For the past 3 years I have been peeing way too much. About 8 times per night and 1 time per hour all day even when not drinking alot of water. I have a weak stream and it takes me about 21 seconds to pee it all out at that pace. If I drink the amount of water I'm supposed to drink per day I will pee about 2 to 3 times per hour. My symptoms started over 3 years ago but 11 months ago I had a cystoscopy which showed inflamation. I was scheduled for a a CT scan which came out clear and cytology which came out clear and a second cystoscopy which I didn't get a chance to go. Before I was able to get the scope I lost my insurance. In the past month I had a 24 hour urine collection that showed trace blood. (that was the first time ever showed trace blood in urine). I had my follow up cystoscopy finally today and it showed a small red mark that looked like a thin flat upside down redish triangle. I asked him if it could be interstitial cystitus and he said he doesn't think so because other wise It would be more spread out. I asked him if it could be cancer and he said it could be but he won't know anything until the biopsy.The dr scheduled me for a biopsy. I'm really scared. I'm male and I'm only 43. I have a 12 year old daughter that depends on me and her mom is mentally I'll so my daughter needs me here at least until she's old enough to have a good job and care for her self. I know I just need to wait till I get my biopsy to know for sure but I am stunned right now. What is the chance that a focused, flat red patch like that is not cancer? I'm feel like I'm floating in limbio right now. Is there hope that I don't have bladder cancer? And if it's not, what could cause a red spot like that in my bladder along with all of these symptoms? I already have health anxiety being a registered nurse so I'm having a hard time coping.
Hi Scorp. It's unlikely you will find out anything definite tomorrow. The biopsies need to be sent off for analysis. Are you having it done under general anaesthetic ? I hope all goes well. Best wishes.
Hopefully, you will be out the same day but maybe an overnight stay. An anxious week or so for results, but again, if it does turn out to be BC, then it can be sorted. Best wishes.
