There in lies the rub. it appears that the Dr i am refered to only does his cysto in surgery. It would have to be decided whetehr or not to go witha a general or to try it under IV sedation. In either case I have had 5 MI's. The end prognosis is level III CHF and acute aschemia. I have sever COPD which is amplified by pulmanary edema. @ weeks ago I awoke completely unable to breath and ended up calling an ambulance to get me to the ER. The attack lasted for over 45 min. I was huffing so hard trying to breathe and also causing extreme stress due to a life threatening panic attack. I was purple by the time I reached OR from lack of Oxygoen.
I was all set up to have the cysto done in the lab at my VA on the 22nd of last mo but they cancelled me on the 20th when the dr quit.
Im really anxious over this upcoming cysto. Im closing in on7 months since the TURB was done without a looksee. They did a urine test that came back negative for signs of returning cancer cells. Also Im having a few anomolies in my urinary functions. These are new and werent noticed until this past month. Its possible thats all in my mind do to beginning to obcsee over this.
