As to the "uncomfortable setting" for the cystoscopy, it's going to become an ongoing part of your life at least in the near term. As to pain or discomfort, I am a 65 years old, 5'8", 150 lb. weakling that was scared that I was going to shake the fillings out of my teeth, BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN......It is an odd process to partake in but I am very much looking forward to a cystoscopy at a later time that they announce "everything looks good".
After they remove my tumor on Friday, if all goes well, I have heard that they will complete a additional cystoscopy again after several weeks of healing. I actually plan to video my cystoscopy in all its glory (all modesty put aside) and post it on youtube or other social media to dispel the anxiety that men in general seem to perceive from the procedure. My video would be an absurd way of becoming a film star....lol......But if it helps one soul with reducing their anxiety it will have been worth it.
Tomorrow evening at this time you will be home, it will be history, and then you can actually feel you are on the way to at least knowing your true situation. I wish you God's blessing, the best of luck, and please keep posting to help support the next person just starting their journey just like we are.
I wonder if they will create better posting names than "Uptight" or "Really Scared"???
