Well I guess its time to introduce myself because I've been poring over two forums for a few weeks; Initially was concentrating on 1 forum and then got thrown a curveball.
54m UK. dithering about which group to join for reasons which will become obvious
Previously in urology:
Nov 2024
Episode 1:admitted to A&E with illness/fever and likely LUTI - cleared up with antibiotics
Episode 2 admitted to hospital with gross haematuria -DRE negative. administered antibiotics and referred to 2wk urology clinic.
December 2024:Undergoing tests to rule out/in bladder cancer ? initially :
3rd Dec:flexible cystoscopy shows 2 small flat reddish lesions- arranged rigid cystoscopy
21st December 2024;Rigid cystoscopy :possibly bladder CIS awaiting histology. Urology team query additional possible prostate BPH or cancer following raised PSA (4.27)

So I thought it would be polite to make myself known to the group; Hello ;-)
