Hi . I've had several of these over the years along with full upper body scans. Had a full scan a couple of weeks ago and waiting for results. Nothing to worry about. Painless except for needle in back of hand or arm. They inject dye which highlights kidneys, bladder and associated bits. The dye feels a bit strange. Just a warm feeling and makes you tingle a bit. Just another piece of the jigsaw. Best wishes.
and others starting along the path. I was so naïve at the beginning. Cancer was not mentioned and I had never heard of bladder cancer. I was just told I had a mass in my bladder. After my first TURBT and the mass was removed, I thought that was it, job done, and get back to normal. At my follow up appointment, that's when I was told I had cancer. I thought my world had fallen apart. That's when I found this group and the members here helped me through my darkest days. I could say things here which I couldn't say to my family. That was eight years ago and some of the folks who helped me through it are still here now and I owe them my thanks. So here I am along with other old timers, still kicking. Just telling you this to hopefully give you some reassurance that there is hope as you go through a scary time. Best wishes.
