Hi Aero_the_Lab and a warm welcome to the group. i only had a catheter for a few days which wasn't too bad, but it must be difficult for you having it all the time. I assume you must have had a TURBT. What sort of chemo are you having. Is it directly in to the bladder? The CT is usually just to rule anything else out and help to plan future treatment. Waiting for results is always an anxious time. Lots of experience here to help you going forward. Best wishes.

Thanks for your reply. I am on Cisplatin which I have one day at the centre. It is administered intravenously, and I have 2 days of Etoposide tablets to take at home. I have had 4 rounds of chemotherapy, and another booked in for the 22nd of the month. Yes, I have had a TURBT, but the catheter was to help with urine retention. I've had a few issues with the catheter blocking, with debris coming from my bladder. I have lost the confidence to go too far from home, just in case something happens, and feel anxious pretty much all the time. 

Welcome from me too though I am sorry to hear you are suffering with the catheter.I hope something can be done to help.Best wishes Jane x

Hi and welcome.

I know it is difficult   but try not to worry imagining scenarios that may happen. I stupidly did exactly that when I had a second cancer scare that turned out to be nothing. But I got so anxious that I got depressed. All for nothing. I was so sure that I had something else that I did not listen to reason. This (should) teach me that second guessing medical condition is wrong and that I should not worry until the actual results are in. Difficult? Sure. Very. But it pays! Be optimistic.

All the best!
