Hi everyone,
Unfortunatly I wish I wasnt on this website, its coming as a complete shock to me and even typing BC made me cry!! My dad was passing blood in his urine, he said it was for a couple of weeks (think he may be down playing this though, he always tries to protect us so I have a feeling it was longer than that!!) Anyway the bleeding got bad so he went to the doc, and was scheduled for a flexible Cystocopy, ultra sound and IVP which he had a the start of the week...They discovered "a growth" on the wall of his bladder!! Thankfully the IVP showed no abnormailites in the kideys etc. They said they will not know any more about the growth until he gets a biopsy done, we recieved a letter 2 days ago to say his appointment for this ridig Cysotocopy (to take biopsy and remove/burn off existing growth) is mid-May??? Is 4/5 weeks very long to wait for the biopsy, I'm not happy at all because how do we know its not growing every day and getting worse!! My dad is my world and I'm unbelievably scared!! Even though I'm convincing myself its nothing from reading a lot of the posts it seems that's not likely, I've read that over 90% are milignant (of some kind!) :'( Any advice on what we should do going forward would be greatly appreciated!!
