Hi, didn't think I would find myself here but looking for a bit of support from those on the same journey.
I've been diagnosed quite quickly, had episodes of my blood in my urine for 2 weeks, diagnosed and treated for a UTI at the beginning of April but the blood persisted. I was then fast tracked for a cytoscopy 3 weeks ago which showed a transitional cell Papillary cancer.
Had a CT scan 2 weeks ago but not been given the result and I'm in for surgery on Monday for a TURBT.
All a bit scary but the two clinical professionals I've seen have reassured me this is perfectly treatable and I'll be ok. Still struggling with anxiety though.
Thanks for reading

Best of luck for your procedure tomorrow and the results, Aquarian66 (Kim)
