Title: Cystoscopy
Post by: ozrocker on May 29, 2012, 10:25:35 AM
Well, today I go for my twice a year Cystoscopy. I was diagnosed with
Transitional Cell Carcinoma (Cancer) of the Bladder in August 07.
Had tumors removed, and luckily so far nothing has returned.
I used to have it done every 3 months, and it's no fun.
I was lucky, I went to see Dr first time I urinated purple.
For those that don't know what a Cysto is. Look at photo on right.
That's what I get stuck in my urethra, and pushed in all the way to Bladder.

Yeah, that thing goes in my wee-wee

 Had that done a year ago.  Results were excellent so my next one isn't for 4 more years.  Not fun but better than not catching a problem early.

Some of the stuff the Docs do should probably be prohibited under the Geneva Convention.

Here's hoping the test is negative.

My leukemia in remission since '92....one of the fun little things was laying there while the doc drilled a hole in my sternum to aspirate some marrow for testing.

:rofl :rofl :rofl It's a hell of a way to meet cute Nurses. I'm at automatic disadvantage.

My "Happy Ending" is hearing that there's no tumor :D
Thanks for the wishes.
Just got home, Dr. says no tumors :D A relief!
I graduated to once a year now :D
He checked Prostate, says it's smooth as silk :D
I am one happy and relieved person.
For everyone fighting the good fight - Keep positive and stay strong!
Glad to hear so many are winning the fight now.
20 years ago, almost certain a death sentence with most cancer.

Glad everything is OK but no. No way in hell that would go in me that way. Not while I'm conscious. Nope. Not gonna happen....
