Recent bladder CA Dx

[lambchopp59]

The most horrifying discovery that I can't tolerate the treatment. I'm now shunned by my urologist who has no interest in listening to me.
The initial scope was painful, embarrassing and most distressing to me-- brought back PTSD nightmares about a childhood rape experience. Weird experience that took me decades and a lot of therapy to get over. That is until getting scoped.
I finally have an appointment with another urologist June 9th whi hopefully is more understanding about my request for sedation.

1. Do not let them do procedures without adequate support.

You can find the right person....will be thinking about you.

2. Was that the scope where they fill your bladder with water until you feel like it will

explode?

I had that.

3. That's the one. Uroscopy.

Teams of draft horses could not drag me back through any urologist's office door for another one, unsedated. Requests for a sedation procedure were only met by obstinacy by his staff. The TURBT was rough enough recovery.
