Hi,
Thanks so much to you all for your replies to my post. I've since made some calls and discovered that the man who examined me wasn't a consultant - he was a doctor who specialised in bladders. I now have an appointment with my own uro next Thursday (hurrah!) and I have great faith in him, so I will ask him what he thinks and if I definitely need a day admission. If so, I'll go ahead with it but it's likely (so his secretary tells me) that it will be the end of April before I go in - arggh!! Apparently the day admission is so that they can knock me out and use a rigid tool to take a biopsy.
There was a small area of suspicious cell stuff that the doctor found during the cystoscopy, as well as the 'unknown' area. He said, "I could have whipped that out today, but I want to have a look at this other area, so we can do that at the same time when you come into hospital." I'm not sure whether it was left over from the initial surgery or whether it's new, but I don't suppose the experts always know that either. It's a relief to know that it can be removed as it shows though, as opposed to having to go through surgery again!
So that's it. The feeling of dread comes and goes, but today the sun is shining and I'm determined to look on the bright side! Also I'm vastly relieved that I'll be seeing my uro next Thursday, as he treats me like an intelligent human being and that's all I'm asking for, really.
Anyway, thanks to all of you again and I'll keep you posted...
