symptoms return

Please know that you are not alone. I am going through the exact same thing. Had my cysto first week of May, dr. said all-clear. About mid-June found myself with similar symptoms of bc and my next cysto is scheduled for Sept. 9th. Went to my primary dr. because I need a referral for my urologist. My primary put me on antibiotics for a UTI twice (after urinalysis). After the second round of meds didn't work(and another urinalysis) she referred me to my urologist. I called the uro and was told she is out for the summer and won't be back until the last week of August. So after another urinalysis I am now on my 3rd round antibiotics as my "UTI" still has not gone away. This is exactly the same scenario I had before I was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2011. Kept getting treated for a UTI for months until I demanded!!!! to be referred to a urologist. As I suspected I had bc.

If you can get to your doctor then GO!! It is so important to stay on top of this horrible cancer. I am frightened beyond words, but I'll get through whatever it is.

I will keep you in my prayers. Good luck and God bless you.

very nice post like this forum

thank you Alan~ the waiting game is really tough and some days seem longer then others. Being uncomfortable is not helping either, The Vesicare is a good band aid but I would like reasons why but have to wait, It does drain me physically, and mentally.

Alan, I did have a CT before my TURBT was done to check other areas all was clear.Thank Goodness!
