Thank you Jack,
I appreciate you taking the time to read and explain this.
Is a primary neoplasm cancer? And if there is a growth in the bladder wall, isn't that worse because it has now invaded the muscle or deeper tissue?
Their report said "cystoscopic correlation is necessary; normal upper tracts bilaterally."
I had a pelvic ct scan, no contrast, done on Christmas Eve which showed all normal organs. Then in January I had one incident of gross hematuria. My doctor said that was from a UTI or from the large doses of aspirin I took for a plantar plate tear. Then suddenly, two weeks ago, another incident of gross hematuria and then microscopic. I have not even seen the Urologist yet. It takes a long time to get in, but they did move me up to this Friday but only for consultation.
I would really like to think it isn't cancer. I live with my dogs and there is no back up for assistance. None of them can drive.
