To cut a along story short I mucked up my 2nd Urine Flow Test. Sitting waiting half an hour with a full bladder did'nt help!. Running late she said with a strained smile. Anyway I could feel anxiety and stress building up. Quick Bladder Scan then she pointed at the Funnel and told to pee. Door shut behind me and then I tried to reduce my stress. My peeing performance was dismal. It actually came to an abrupt halt half way through. Started again but knew it was going to be a failed test.

So bladder scan and told I was retaining Urine. Well blow me down as if I did'nt know.  So bottom line is she said I would VERY likely need to Self Catheterise. 

What happened at the Clinic was the Polar opposite of my Home Performance.  Just feel I was stressed about the whole procedure.

The funny thing is I urinated 1.2 litres as soon as I returned to the comfort of my own home.

Any comments gratefully Received..    Cheers Dave

P.S. Hopefully my radiation treatment go ahead in a few weeks??
