Hello BuckTent184, 

Welcome to Cancer Chat! I am sorry to hear about your son having to go through these tests for bladder cancer. As a parent, you will be understandably anxious and I hope you won't have to wait too long for results once he has had the cystoscopy. There is information on our website on this page  on the cystoscopy which includes a helpful little video which explains things in detail for you. 

I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious.

I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

Keeping everything crossed for you that everything goes well for your son and that it turns out to be nothing to worry about. 

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
