Just been diagnosed with Prostrate Cancer after an MRI Scan. Very worried.

Kind regards James.

  • Hi James

    I am aware you are in hospital tomorrow - I hope all goes well and that you have no issues - as I said before we are all behind you.

    I know of your issues and it's giving you a bit of anxiety - if it's any help and you want some company tomorrow, drop me a personal message and I am free and if it helps I can take you to the appointment and return you home.

    Best wishes

    Brian.

  • Thank Sean and Brian for the replies. I will go on my own tomorrow, thanks for the offer Brian. I am worried about what they might find and if they damage anything during the procedure. I will be asking them a lot of questions.

    Kind regards James.

  • No problem James, I hope all goes well and you get the results you want.

    You take care - I will be thinking about you tomorrow.

    Best wishes - Brian.

  • Hi,

    Report. I have no Cancer in my Bladder just a Ureterocele which has probably been there since birth. The procedure was painful and it burns when I pee and there is some blood. They said this is normal. I hope it is. Just the Transperineal Prostate Biopsy on Friday now

    Thanks so much for your continued support.

    Kind regards James.

  • Hello James

    1 down 1 to go. You got through that well done. I said you would be right and I am so pleased for you.

    You are doing really well progressing through this and I think you now know it's not bladder cancer that should be a massive weight off your mind.

    Enjoy the evening, celebrate however you do and prepare for Friday. Remember we are all with you on this journey.

    Warmest Wishes

  • Thanks Brian I am a bit worried about the pain and blood from today and the Transperineal Prostate Biopsy can also cause bleeding or even Sepsis. Maybe I would be better having it later. Both procedures seem to cause problemsand I panic with pain and blood.

    Kind regards James.

  • I have done 111 online but it may be ages before that happens. I just cannot understand this pain and bleeding and it driving me crazy.

    Kind regards James.

  • Fingers crossed for you. I am sure it will be okay. Have you taken any pain killer?

  • No pain killers it's the bleeding that is worrying me. It's surely not normal 6 hours after the cystoscopy..

    Kind regards James.

  • NHS says;

    It's normal to have some blood in your pee for a few days after a cystoscopy. But in rare cases it can be a sign that your bladder has been damaged. Contact a GP if you have lots of blood in your pee – for example, you cannot see through your pee – or the bleeding does not stop within a few days.
