Hi all,
Nearly 4 weeks ago I noticed blood in my urine. Contacted my surgery who asked for a urine sample and gave me antibiotics for a suspected UTI which I must admit I didn’t think it was. Anyway a few days later the culture showed no infection and I was referred to hospital as an urgent suspected cancer. I got a cytoscopy quite quickly - 1 week after referral. There the consultant showed me a growth in my bladder - saying don't be alarmed as it's high magnification. He explained I would have MRI and CT scans and then the Turbt procedure. Two days later I was shocked that his letter said I had a 6cm TCC. Since then I have just imagined the absolute worst. I had an MRI a week ago with no feedback , CT scan due Wednesday and an update of 21st Feb. I'm just going crazy , from no idea I had cancer to this ! I visited my GP to get some coping meds earlier this week and I don't feel much relief and maybe they are making things worse. I am struggling so much to try to get some acceptance that I cannot do anything about this situation but go through the process. I have had no contact from the Urology department, nobody to talk to. My partner and family are great but I fear I'm stressing them too much.
Not sure what I'm expecting from posting this but at least you guys will hopefully understand my terror
