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
