Hi for last four months i have been suffering with back problems, the last month i started getting pain in my groin,strangely this pain started every day between 4 and 6 pm
I had a visit to the local doctors who arranged a pelvis and lumbar x ray, this showed small arthritis in my spine but probably nothing an over 50 year old would have.
I had blood tests they came back normal, urine sample came back normal
A week later on two visits to the loo while having a wee i lost blood
Returned to the doctors and he arranged for me to have an ultra sound
I was thinking stones, but the ultra sound showed a mass of something but due to no movement of the mass stones were ruled out
yesterday went to the Urology, one stop haematuria
Had an examination of the bladder (cystoscopy)
I have to say the staff are amazing, informative and a kind manner
I also had another ultrasound, blood pressure urine checked
The cystoscopy showed that i actually have a tumour in the inside of my bladder,
I am waiting to go into hospital for a few days they are going to remove the tumour if possible
Everything was fully explained to me what will happen in hospital and any follow up treatment
"Everything was fully explained to me"
