reassurance
Good news is cytology came back negative, cat scan was all good, urologist said abdomen and pelvis scans were boring, which is good but wants to do s cystoscopy on monday to look around.
I am 76 and had a stroke in dec. and since taking xeralto i have had some blood in my urine. I am terrified to go and worried. also my first urologist said i had no evidence of malignacy. Why cant i calm down and face like a big girl?
sorry to hear about your stroke. Are you currently in rehab? I am not medically trained but had a friend who had a stroke. I know this can heighten anxiety levels. I think you should speak to your medical team about how you are feeling. Sending positive vibes from Scotland. Laura, Moderator, BladderCancer.net 
@Mamie12 - You have been through a challenging event so please do not be so hard on yourself. Your tests seem to be coming back in your favor so that is good. I think that following up by your doctors with a cysto just to be sure is a very good idea. I know that a stroke can be a challenge as my son in law had one at 40. His recovery and therapy went well and he is doing great. I understand your anxiety as we have a natural fear of the known. I hope that when you have results from the cysto that you will feel better and not be so stressed. Sending hugs and prayers your way.
