Hi all,
I had another bladder cancer biopsy Monday, 26 April, 2021. I went in for a bladder checkup a couple weeks ago and they said there was nothing in the labs that said positively that there is more cancer to treat. However the doc who examined me said the labs came back more negative than positive but, the results were suspicious, thus the biopsies.
I have been up 4 times since I went to bed, and am having excruciating burning down in that area where they inserted the catheter and I think the little balloon has collapsed part way and the cath is trying to work its way out.
It is 410 am and I needed to do something to keep my mind occupied. Soooo, here I am. I am not worried about the cancer, but I may get worried if the biopsies reveal I need more surgery and treatments.
The worst part for me is these dang catheters. They don't seem to work well in me. I had to go to the emergency in town here to get another catheter inserted the evening they pulled the cath at Iowa City after my first surgery a couple years ago. The catheter was pulled early and I couldn't urinate. Luckily the VA paid that hospital admittance. If I don't feel better tomorrow I will have to call the emergency number and then go check in to the local hospital. It is supposed to come out Thursday but I am not sure it is ready.
Thanks for reading. I don't like to whine, but dangit, sometimes whining helps a little.
