BC Which Hospital Update _ and eyesl

[Ern007]

I got a call saying I could go into local hospital for my flexy cystoscopy There is a 25 mile difference.

My last rigid cystoscopy showed that 5 out of 6 biopsies was low grade, hence the flexy cystoscopy..

I have not long ago finished my 3 x BCG infusions - Have they worked, my flexy cystoscopy will tell.

My first TURBT that was my first after my diagnosis showed after the tumour was removed, the cancer was superficial.

But Bladder Cancer in situ is always likely to spread, that is the nature of this cancer. It has gone from low to high and back low again I will know in abut 5 weeks exactly what is what.

Been for an eye injection this morning for Wet Macular Visions - 8-30 to be there - My eye had some fluid was better than last time - Plan was inject me today, and change to 8 weeks, lol every time they have done that, been reversed, They are OK nurses at this unit

So come 1,50 today at doctors she was me there because of back X-ray and some bloods - Busy day .

that is a busy day, a lot to deal with in one day. I’m glad you were able to go to your local hospital at least. I hope the flexy cystoscopy goes ok. Thinking of you 🤞

Just got back from Doctors Carol - She said the back pain is a lot of Arthritis in my spine and from halfway the rest of my back from half way. She said my spine was stiff not sure what that meant but - She said no sign of cancer lesions in my back bones, I am glad but did not know they was looking for that also What a day - Arthritis hurts but I am used to that. No appointments for two months except when they call me in for Flexy Cystoscopy. Xxx

[Nula2 in reply to Ern007]

Busy day indeed Ern. Arthritis is so painful (on top of everything else you're dealing with). Glad that, apart from your Flexy Cystoscopy, you're appointment free for a couple of months 🙂. Take care xxx

[Ern007 in reply to Nula2]

Thank you Nula2 - I had it in the feet for years, my back has only been bad for about a year, I have painkillers that will deal with most things. Yea two whole months to myself, bliss You take care also and keep warm, so cold this snap xx

[Nula2 in reply to Ern007]

Thank you Ern, I've got an appointment with my lung specialist tomorrow which is 2 buses there and 2 back. Not looking forward to waiting in the freezing cold at each bus stop 🥶. So tempted to cancel but must think myself lucky to get an appointment. I know some members on here are not so fortunate xxx

[sassy59 in reply to Ern007]

It’s good to know there are no lesions in your spine. Arthritis is very painful as I can also testify. Wishing you all the best Ern and hope all goes well with the Flexy Cystoscopy when you get the call. Take it easy. Xxx🥰

Busy day4u x

[Ern007 in reply to Patk1]

You might say that Pat - last month I was at Eye clinic, x Ray and GP on same day.

As I stand now - Eye Clinic will be 8 weeks, No GP at moment so apart from Cystoscopy I am pretty free, next two months, x

[Threecats]

Goodness me, Ern, you were on the go today! I’m glad they’ve agreed to do your procedure at the local hospital now, anyway. I’m also glad your X-ray showed nothing more sinister than arthritis, although that’s bad enough, as I know only too well 🙄 Pleased to hear you have a couple of months appointment free. I imagine you could do with a rest!

[Ern007 in reply to Threecats]

Heavens yea Threecats - Does happen like this, eye clinic very early and a few miles away. Yes I rest from the willbe very welcome.

[leo60]

Phew! xx

[Ern007 in reply to leo60]

Yea same last month now, I have 8 weeks free of eye and probably GP apointents. xx

[leo60 in reply to Ern007]

Think I'm on the start of a busy time as they do tests and PR to see if I'm suitable for surgery! It feels like such an invasion of my time! 😂😂 xx

[Ern007 in reply to leo60]

I feel for you, I know what that feels like. Every time I have a Cystoscopy - I have to have pre ops no matter how close, the the post tests.

I hope your tests come as you want then, so it won't be waste of your time.. xx

[leo60 in reply to Ern007]

Thanks Ern, early days yet, not sure what I want!! Rest your sore eye xx

[jackdup]

I pray the cystoscopy goes well, and also your eye heals quickly.

[watergazer]

Busy busy.

[MoyB]

Crumbs! What a busy day!!

How nice to think you now have a couple of months relatively free of appointments. Sometimes you just need that break from it all, don't you?

I hope all goes well with your cystoscopy when it happens.

xx Moy

[Mellywelly]

Good luck chook 👍 you sound in good spirits 😉

[sunshineday]

So glad you have a couple of months free of appointments Ern. You must have been exhausted yesterday. Hope you can have a restful few weeks recharging your batteries and that your cystoscopy goes well when it happens. xxJoy

[Mooka]

They certainly seem to be looking after you. Pleased you got in at your local hospital. I sympathise with the back pain. Good luck with the cystoscopy.

[Izb1]

What a busy time you have been having Ern, so pleased for you that the x ray showed no signs and that the cystoscopy can be done locally. Time to rest up now and enjoy a bit of freedom from appointments. I dont have anything for the rest of the month so enjoying my pj lazy days x

[Numptybrain]

Arthritis is horrible but so pleased nothing more sinister, hope you get sorted soon Ern

Take care
