Hi everyone
I have my cystoscopy and scan Friday next week. I’m scaring myself to death with possible outcomes but reading some of the threads on here and comments from you all had really made me relax more and not fret so much so thankyou is all I wanted to say really and hello to you all
Hi KellyD. The procedure itself is quite painless, but slightly uncomfortable. You should be able to see for yourself on screen and anything untoward will be pointed out to you. I hope all goes well. Feel free to ask any questions. We know the early days of uncertainty and not knowing can be stressful.
Hi KellyD,A warm welcome from me too.You will still have to wait for the full results but they will usually tell you if everything looks fine or if something needs further investigation.They use a numbing gel before the scope goes in and the procedure is quick usually only a few minutes.At my hospital you don’t even have to put on a gown just remove clothes below the waist.I hope it all goes well.There is lots of advice and support on here.Best wishes Jane
