Sorry about that Diane! Didn’t mean to panic you.
My uro tried that once to get tiny little sample. That is when I learned I have the ability to levitate at close to the speed of light and am pretty sure I almost hit my face on the 12 foot high ceiling.
Any samples taken after that were in a surgical center. Different for some folks I guess. If they are just doing CIS checks, I guess that is basically surface layer anyway. Not my cup of tea!

Thanks for that reply, Mike, you have de panicked me a bit. And no, no piece of leather -have previously had a couple of biopsies taken in office and the thought of having several taken at one go has been really spooking me. Maybe the hospital will use some anesthesia?
Diane
Biopsies in office??? Holy Moly!!!
I hope he at least gives you a nice, thick piece of leather to bite down on.
After BCG, you want to get some samples to check to see nothing is there and you want the urine cytologies. There is no urgency to getting it done.
