Hi I’ve been reading a lot on this forum since Wednesday when I was told by the doctor who did my cystoscopy that the lesion was definitely cancer.
there’s so much support and understanding here. Id really like to be part of this amazing group.
I was on my own for the cytoscopy and I just couldn’t ask any questions - I was just in shock. But I want to know if he saw it’s spread and how big it was and everything about it but I don’t know who to contact.
I also now realise that my abdominal pains and my lower back pains I thought were to do with my fibroids and ovarian cyst along with my arm pains I thought were to do with the gym could all relate to late stage advanced cancer.
I’m going for a TURBT on 21st Feb and in the meantime the silence and the waiting are utterly terrifying. .
Im 60 next month and this is just awful.
has anyone had thear pains and not had bone involvement..? I’m so scared. .
