New here-awaiting cystoscopy

Hi  and welcome to the group. We know how anxious you must be feeling not knowing and waiting for a diagnosis. Unfortunately it is fairly common for ladies especially to be repeatedly treated for UTIs. The positive is that it seems you have now been referred to urology and waiting for a cystoscopy which is the best tool to find out what is going on in your bladder. A simple and usually painless procedure and you will be able to see for yourself on screen what is going on. Be aware that if it does turn out to be bc, then bc can be treated successfully and there are many here to tell the tale. Please feel free to ask any questions or voice your concerns. Best wishes.

Just to add to all rily's reassuring reply, my husband had had his bc a long time [years] due to let's just say bad practice by our previous hospital, and it has still been treated very successfully.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to reply. I think waiting for results is one of the worst parts of this journey. I am quite a strong person and know I will deal with a bc diagnosis well. It is good to know bc has a good outcome and being on here has already made me feel reassured so thank you again. Very best wishes to you.

Hi Denby, So good to hear your husband is being treated successfully now,  thank you so much for your reassuring words. Long may he continue to feel healthy. Very best wishes.

Hi Florence53,Welcome to the group.It is good that you are having a cystoscopy as blood in the urine should be investigated.It may be due to infection,inflammation,bladder stones or cancer.A cystoscopy is a quick and useful procedure.Do you have a date for it yet ? Best wishes Jane

Hi Florence I had the same and due to age etc thought It was part of the menopause so let it go for a good while. I am been treated successfully. Best wishes to you .

Thank you very much for the warm welcome and for the information, it is much appreciated. No date as yet but expecting a letter any day now. Will keep you posted. I hope you are well. Thanks again. 

So pleased to hear your treatment has been successful and thank you so much for your kind message. Wishing you the very best wishes and good health! 

Hi Florence53 

Let's keep our fingers crossed that it is not BC but if it does turn out that way, let me assure you that life can still be good as mine is 

Love Inanna x 

Thank you! Good to know you are well and enjoying life. I have my date now for the procedure on the 25th Jan so fingers crossed. x
