The big C comes for a visit
I had a cystoscopy procedure performed today because I was occasionally seeing blood in my urine. My doctor found a fairly large cancerous tumor in my bladder so now the race is on to get rid of it. He's confident that it was caught early enough that I should have a full recovery, but I won't know what the treatment plan is until I see him again next Thursday. For now, I have a freaking catheter that will be removed next week. I've had a catheter before and they absolutely suck! One humorous note...the nurse who took care of me post-op said to my wife, "We had to use an extra-long catheter to wrestle the San Antonio white snake!" I thought my wife was going to pee her pants!

Good luck and follow their instructions to a tee, my old man had that surgery (they called it a bladder scrape to remove one of his tumors) and the first procedure seemed to be successful.

Had a small bladder tumor removed 3 years ago and during start of my 3rd year follow-ups, the doc discovered another tumor at the first of the year. Removed and finished my BCG treatments a few weeks ago. Hang in there, surgeon said bladder cancer has a high rate of reoccurrence.

Well, that sucks big time.
Just wondering, how did the Dr determine its cancerous. Just by looks? Usually, the tissue sample takes a day or so to evaluate. Hope all goes well for you. Mr SA Whitesnake

Sorry to hear that, hope everything goes well for you. I had the same scare one week ago today coincidentally, started seeing blood in my urine out of the blue so got rushed in for a scope. Fortunately, it was just due to a benign enlarged prostate, no cancer to be found. Felt like a ton of weight was lifted from my shoulders, I can only guess what you must be thinking.
Good luck, here's hoping for a speedy recovery. |

Sorry to hear that Jim - best wishes on a positive outcome!
When I was hospitalized last November for my pulmonary embolism they inserted a catheter in me. That sucked! And a few weeks after they removed it I has a nasty UTI, which involved lots of blood in my urine. |
