Here we go again

It's exactly a year ago since I had a tumour removed from my bladder (histology inconclusive as sample damage during removal) clear cystoscopy after 6 months. Symptoms have flared up again over the last couple of months, increased urination, lower back pain, burning and blood in my samples but no infection.

Spoke to urologist on Monday and I'm back tomorrow for another cystoscopy. He didn't seem too worried so I'm trying to think the same.   

Just having a bit of a vent really, I hate the "inconclusive" part but honestly am beginning to wonder if the fear ever goes away. Every time I get a bit poorly with urology type symptoms it's always there in my mind. I'm 37 year old female, only risk factors are family history (grandad) and irritated bladder (I've had problems on and off since being a teenager) but they've got really bad in the last 12 months.

anyhow, I suppose I'll know by tomorrow....
