New to the forum,,hoping not to stay,,,questions,

I bet that is the case. I read somewhere that exercise can cause some bleeding when I was looking online. I'll be praying for you.

im hoping for the call tomorrow that says.." Your results of the cytology are negative" ive been staying off the bike the last 2 days,,,ran yesterday 6 miles and today 6 miles....

I bled every time I urinated for one month..then it stopped right before they took the tumor out. The doctor says tumors have a mind of their own.

Yes bleeding only, but being a woman they didn't know where it was coming from. Had to figure that out. I agree, I don't know why he didn't do the cystoscopy before the ct scan except the doctor in Dallas told me it was because insurance wouldn't pay because of obamacare.

So your only symptom was bleeding? How often and for how long? Seems llike if they saw the tumor with the first test they didn't need the rest

My clinic sent me for an ultrasound after the bleeding started that showed a tumor.. Then I went to the urologist who scheduled a ct scan, which showed the same. I did the cystoscopy after that and he saw the tumor. Then I went to the hospital to have a biopsy, which he removed the tumor also and sent to lab. The pathologist report came back high grade cancer, but he didn't get any muscle to test so no staging. That's when I knew I had to get to the best. I can go to the Mayo Clinic, MD Anderson, but I chose UTSW in Dallas which is only 5 hours or an hour flight. I started this April 19th so I understand how you feel not knowing, I just turned 61 and always been healthy so what a shock!!
