Hi Spook,

Welcome to our forum.

I am glad to hear that you have had your bladder surgery. This is always an anxious time, as you wait for your results. Why not wait until you get your results? You can then tell your consultant about your other problems, as he may want to investigate these alongside your bladder issues.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on.

We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Hello, and thank you for contacting us.

I am sorry to hear what you have gone through, and you now have the wait for more news about the biopsy.

I wasn't clear from your post if it is the same team that ordered the scan and is monitoring the changes in your spine. Or, if the team dealing with your bladder knows about what happened back in September, do make sure they are aware of what happened. I am sure they will be reviewing things anyway once they have got your biopsy results back.

Take care, and I hope you get information about your situation soon. If you want to talk things through with the nurses on the helpline the number is 0808 800 4040. Lines are open mon-fri, 9-5.

Sarah.

Hello Spooks and thanks for getting back to us again,

I am sorry to hear about your wait for results and I can understand what an anxious time this must be.

Try if you can to take one day at a time and not think too far ahead.

Both hospitals will have written to your GP telling them of your tests. It may be helpful to talk things through with your GP as they should be receiving information from both hospitals. Your GP can advise you whether you need to let UCHL know about your MRI follow ups

The lesion in your spine and your bladder may not be connected so try if you can not to over think it for now.

I do hope all will be well. Do give the nurses a ring if you would like to talk things through.

The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

All the best,

Catherine
