I’m being referred to urology due to blood in urine after running, also micro blood found today. I’m now scared witless. Had bowel cancer years back can’t believe it’s happening again.
Hi Chasmac and welcome to the group. We know the fear and uncertainty of a cancer diagnosis, but be aware bladder cancer can be treated successfully. It must be extra difficult for you having been through it before. Your first urology appointment should lead to a flexible cystoscopy which is a camera in to the bladder. Generally painless but maybe a bit uncomfortable. You will be able to see for yourself anything untoward in your bladder. They will then take it from there if anything is seen. Many of us have been through this so feel free to ask anything. Best wishes.
Chasmac, not necessarily the sort of group you would want to join again, but we are here to help and hug you, and you’re welcome.
my first bleeding episode was after washing my car May last year…. I’ve not cleaned it since.!! (Leave it to the OH)
Please feel free to ask questions for help…or a hug.! X
best wishes
