  • Hello Mandy-k, 

    I am sorry to hear about your symptoms and I hope that you will hear from other members of the forum who have been in a similar situation and that they will be along to share their experience with you. 

    It's good that they are being thorough and you have been referred to the urologist and I wish you the best of luck for your scan next week. I hope that it will shed some light on what is going on and that you get a definite diagnosis soon. 

    All you can do for now is wait which is often described here as the hardest thing. It's completely understandable that you are worried given you have already had breast cancer but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be until you have some definite answers. 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. There are helpful tips on this page to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

    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 turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
