Hi I’m new and very confused and scared. I went to the doctor on the 15th after having passed a lot of blood into my catheter’s night bag the night before. They put me onto the 2ww pathway for urology. I had my bladder ultrasound yesterday (24/06/26) and after that appointment I got sent a appointment for a flexi- cystoscopy on Saturday 27/06/26.

why have they moved my cystoscopy appointment forward so suddenly and what does it mean. 

  • Good afternoon all through my treatment my appointments were moved about it’s all about availability of staff so I wouldn’t read to much into it hope all goes well best wishes Phil.

  • Hi Blackie69 and welcome to the forum. It is very scary not knowing whether or not something is wrong . Try not to be too afraid, and think the worst about the speed of things. It could be that they are keeping to the 2week referral if you were seen on the 15th. Although you are fearful , it is a good think that your care is happening quickly and they can begin to treat whatever is causing the blood in the catheter bag. Hold tight and take a deep breath. Keep in touch with the forum group, you are not alone 

    Much love Angela x
