Greetings,
Cystoscopy is anxiety provoking, but with your history (i.e., shot thru) I suspect you'll be able to grin and bear it. (Easy for me to say, since they took my prostate a long time before this bladder thing came up.) When my surgeon came out from the TURBT procedure, my wife said he made a gesture with his hands that indicated it was quite large. At my last cystoscopy however, he said it was quarter size (approx. 2.5 cm), so not as large as I imagined. I think it was a little difficult to judge. The guy that did the first cystoscopy had a screen so I saw it. It was growing out from the bladder wall tree-like with three branches resembling a joker's hat. (Some joke, huh.) Alan's right, you just can't know much until they evaluate it.
Hoping for the best outcome.
Stu
