Hi I am a new user, I am legally blind so pls excuse my multiple errors I eill make.I have been having frequent in fections over the last 2 yrs. ironically I lost my insurance right when the ER and PCP began feeling swollen nodes in my groin and having urine tests which were ng for infection but positive for bloiod and protein. The last 2 yrs have been just frustrating, painful etc. Then this past yr I lost 40lbs in 3 mo (I am only 5 ft and normal weight is 95 so this was near my halg of my total bodu weight. I founf a great free clinic and blood tests showed anemia, urine same thing. But there are no funds for multiple specialists etc. I finally got my MediCal back and got a great dr. he was super concerned about the blood, now in stool as well, 3 new lung nodules etcso went to a urologists I adore and a week ago he did the cystogram and found 4 tumors and asked me if I wanted to see (YEAH!) it was scary to see and realize these thigs are inside me. I saw a sguilly line goifn down and asked if it was a vessle, he said no it was active bleeding,When he was done he said I was going to have to have a second biopsy in an operating room under gen anathesia. This is where my questons come into play. He couldn't tell me anything it could be that was benign but could not of course tell me it was cancer before having all the gaccts I have seen in my wandering. I fould just one paragraph inan older med book and it said that the sec bx under GA in a hospital and when cancer or highly suspicous has been identified,Ny questins are Is this the test I have seeb in here that is done in hospital to type the tumors, check for invasive vs non by doing biopsy on the bladder wall? Do they check for spreading at this time? Do they do any surgical procedure at that time/I am frightened bcause I also have nodules in my lungs via CTS, but this time the 3 that had been there for a yr ir 2 doubled in siz and there was a new larger one on the mid left section or the lung (the others in lower lobes,I can handlr anything if I know what is happening. I cannot rive and without my coclear am deaf. I also have severe ostwoporosis (8 fractures in 4 yrs) and nerve dmg in var sites, This is not a rt of this illness I ahve been fighting for nearly a decade.I am sorry for all the misc. info. When I am nervous I tend to talk alot.Any awnser or just a greeting would be so greatly appreciated. I have no one, I mean MO I to talk to and it is just so so lonley.
My best wishes for good health for all. And thank you for taking time to read this.000
