Hi Everyone 

I am new to the group and looking for some advice

I had my tumor removed in Sept and then had some necrotic tissue removed in Dec

The consultant said this had all been a success..I was supposed to have a follow up in Jan but received a phone call instead and was told I would be seen again in May .

I have recently had pain in my left side and lower back ..inside of thighs ..groin ..buttocks and  upper and lower abdomen...in addition I have had one episode of blood in my wee.

I do need knee replacement so some if this pain could be athritis 

I went to my GP and am now waiting for the results of urine test .

I called the urology nurse yesterday and explained all of this to her and she advised me to go to A&E ..I was a bit shocked by this and wondered if this is normal procedure ??

I would have expected her to perhaps bring my check in May  closer if my urine test comes back negative ..I am now very stressed re her saying go to A&E and have not slept all night worrying about it !!

any advice would be so appreciated 

Thank you in advance 

  • It may be that because of COVID, they are struggling to organise routine follow up appointments, let alone urgent ones. That may be why she has advised A & E, so you will get seen promptly, just in case it is something that needs urgent attention. Hope all sorted soon.
