Ok, had cysto yesterday, and looking good! Urologist stated that although he had found that my bladder was not 'normal' had found no visible tumours, but had taken some biopsies of inflamed areas. Initial prognosis painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis, which he said does indeed mimic BC symptoms, and in itself was a generally a life long pretty unpleasant condition to deal with, but I can cope with that, because I have to! He has had some patients diagnosed with IC without cystoscopy who have come to him and he has discovered BC, so was glad that Dr. had referred me.
They do have to keep doing checks, as he said long term bladder irritation can lead to BC on occasion. Path results are going to take ages, up to 8 weeks!!! Nurses said though that if anything unusual found would be told much sooner. Of course niggling little doubt in back of mind until results come back, but nurses reassured me that my urologist does over 400 cystos a year, and with twenty years experience they know what they are looking for and what looks suspicious, so that's a relief.
So hopefully that's the end of that!!!
