Well, I went to the doctor today. He had me pee in a cup and told me (guess what) I have blood in my urine! No cysto (or whatever it's called) or anything else today.
He is setting me up for a CT scan. He said that if it shows something, a cysto might not be necessary. I do have an appointment on June 18th for the cysto anyway, in the event nothing is figured out from the CT scan.
This surprised and disappointed me. I was hoping to find out something today, which I didn't. Plus I thought a cysto was pretty much always indicated, and from what he said, based upon the CT scan, I may not have the cysto.
I'm still planning on the second opinion from the teaching hospital up north.
It's only been a week, so I guess I should be happy I've gotten in as quickly as I did, but I sure wish I knew something more than I did this morning.
