Hi Jake,
I just signed on to the forum. I am awaiting a cysto/turbt on June 22nd as well.
My hematuria first occurred last summer. Very mild, and my doc ran some blood and urine tests. No sign of blood or other stuff. Gave me the ok, since the first occurred after a hard workout. I too am a cyclist. 54, and average 50-100 miles a week in good weather.
Second Hematuria occurred in Late Jan 2017. Went back to doc scared. He ordered more blood/urine test and complete ct scan. All clear again. ?
Last week had the third episode: this time chose ultrasound. They found 1.8 cm tumer on posterior wall. From my eye, the shape looks like invasive type....yes, I have self diagnosed...stoopid. and scared the shit out of myself and my wife. She told me to stay off of google, as did my RN Sister.
Anyway, so glad I found this forum some people who have walked this path. We are not alone. Now just anxious and scared about the turbt, etc., but this helps. Havent slept for 5 days, but hope to tonight since I now realize there is hope.
Also, If anyone reading this can suggest questions for the team, I could use some help. Dont want to miss anything.
Thanks in advance.
