Had a Flexi Cyst Myself in March Despite the Urge to Pish when it Goes in I felt very Little Discomfort ,Was a Little sore After ...
Also had the Ultra sound .. Had a CT scan a week Later .. Unfortunately in my Case I was diagnosed with Bladder Cancer in march (flexi found a tumour) had to under go a Turbt, Which is a Rigid Cystocopy under anesthestic, to remove the Tumour from My bladder ,(a bag of Chemo is then put into the Bladder and left for a couple of Hours,drips out through a catheter )that was 3 weeks after the 1st visit . I was Lucky they caught it Early ,Sadly Although my surgeon got the lot the Re occurance Rate is 80 % , Im back for another Flexi in July ,and Every 6 months for prob the next 10 years ,a small price to pay TBH if it had not been Caught Early it is Lethal . I passed Blood AP that was the sign and is the Main sign of Bladder cancer  I had also not realised how much the Pish pressure had fallen and was actually pishing like a horse following the op  If you have not Passed blood AP you should be Fine, quite possibly a Stone , Just like to Add to anyone reading This if you See blood in ur Urine GO TO THE DOCTOR URGENTLY ,EVEN IF IT DOESNT RE OCCUR the Visit will Probably save you an awful lot of Grief if not your Life .. |

Casemoney, I'm sorry for your problems and I'm very glad you're on the mend. Keep up the visits for the ten years and good luck.
My own tale of woe is a little different. I self-catheterize every second day to rip open the scarring caused by urethral strictures. (The scars never stop growing, so I'll be doing this for life.) Most days, I don't get any bleeding but some days I do. For the last couple of months or so I've had occasional bleeding even on the days when I don't catheterize. The worst of it is, the blood is brown. I know that means old blood. Maybe I damaged the prostate with the catheter or maybe not. For financial reasons, I can't trouble the British NHS any further so I'm holding off (geddit?) until early June when I return to the land of the free where I have health insurance. For those interested, I didn't get the strictures by doing anything that was fun. Quite the opposite. Okay, who's next up for the Crying Game? |

Im very Very Lucky Gall ,One My partner Forced me to the Docs ,the Blood had stopped I thought Perhaps a Burst Blood Vessel.
Two, Early Stage although a Medium grade cancer . the 80% return Rate not Good But 1 in 2 will suffer some form of cancer in their Lifetime ,Hopefully that's mine out of the Way, well at least for the next 10 Years while I am being Monitored , BC is a Silent killer, I joined a private Forum on Facebook Some Tragic cases on their If 1 person on here take my advice Regarding Passing Blood or passes on the Message it will have been worth Posting on here  Sounds Dreadful what you have to go through Gall . And you get people Going around Moaning about Petty Shyte .. |

My experience with nursing homes is that you are better off at home having someone to live with you, maybe a cutie who would look after you in exchange for the rent! it's a bonus if when you pass on they are so upset they fail to keep up Uni and drop out. |

My gosh,,,,some truly harrowing tales on here!
No blood or anything untoward for me, so will just have to hope for the best this afternoon! The nurses will certainly have a good laugh, as my little chap is almost the same size as my navel, due to an umbilical hernia! |

Good people...the power of forumites saved the day!
I was sick with worry after hearing all the harrowing experiences! It was all very civilised and private. Didn't get to pee on a helicopter, but just a funnel into a jug! Just doctor and me for exploration. A sonic probe on the prostate area, and what I thought was an extremely long finger up my botty, which was some kind of camera. Result....flow a little slow and prostate slightly swollen but declared as nothing to worry about./ In and out in twenty minutes, and so relieved. I'm one of the lucky ones, for a change.... |

Don't know what you were worried about, AP. We told you it was a doddle.

So pleased you are okay, AP |

By:
So you didn't have to chase a helicopter drone around the room trying to pee on it with dozens of student nurses observing and making comments.
Very disappointing for all your fellow forumites. |

Does it seem more people are being diagnosed with cancer these days ? In the past it seemed only smokers got it.
Is it food production, mobile phones/masts or what ? Admittedly success rates are up. Well done AP ! |

Perhaps Air Pollution is a Factor ? The air in Some Cities cant be doing People Much Good .

Good news AP happy for you mate
 I had a near death experience a few years ago, my answer put on four stones  would of been ok if I was anorexic trying to get the weight off but to many curries so little time  |
|
By:
Don't know what the fuss is! Any problems, I go to the local Body Shop to get a new part! Much quicker than the NHS as no waiting list and the assistants are usually better looking than nurses. ps- If a man lives long enough he will develop prostate cancer. Many men die WITH prostate cancer than FROM it. Always be aware, but no exceptional need to be prostrate about your prostate!

Leading causes of death in men in England and Wales 2012
Heart disease (37,423 men) Lung cancer (16,698 men) Emphysema/bronchitis (14,378 men) Stroke (14,116 men) Dementia inc. Alzheimer's (13,984 men) Flu/pneumonia (11,063 men) Prostate cancer (9,698 men) Bowel cancer (7,841 men) Lymphoid cancer (6,301 men) Throat cancer (4,603 men) |

I thought you were in favour of CUTTING, Dr Slicer.
|
|
By:
The survival rates for cancer are good, unfortunately the figures include all the easy to cure cancers like skin cancer which are on the increase.
That makes the figures look better than they really are. The survival rates for the more serious types of cancers are still appalling. |
|
By:
I am certainly in favour of cutting, in the right circumstances. As far as prostate is concerned, I am aware of many men who have undergone prostate surgery, where the side effects of the surgery (incontinence, erectile dysfunction) have caused more distress than the original condition. There are current advances in the treatment of prostate cancer which do not involve surgery. Also a PSA reading may be unreliable. Fortunately, at my old age, I am not showing any symptoms, so I guess the Grim Reaper will have to try something else.
|
|
By:
Dr C-throat cancer and lung cancer survival rates are low and are lagging well behind those of other cancers unfortunately.
|
|
By:
Yes Slicer, smoking and drinking have a lot to answer for.

Death by pneumonia victims are usually old . It ' covers' a multitude of sins'
If you're very old and are ill( with whatever ) and bed ridden, the risk of congestion of fluid on the lungs, is very very high. Patients death certificate states pneumonia - because that got there first ! |
