@parus Has the dr office returned your phone calls yet, to give you more information? Can you get a copy of the surgery and biopsy reports, to check things yourself? Sometimes it feels like the [male] medical community feels women don't care/want to know the details, or that we can't think for ourselves. It's so frustrating! A few years ago I had a UTI, went to Dr, turned out the wrong antibiotic was given, UTI stuck around too long and affected my kidneys. Dr didn't believe me when I told him this; I have only 32% kidney function anyway, I know my body!

@gingerw I had a biopsy last Tuesday. By Friday I was passing many large blood clots and lots of blood. Kidneys are okay I guess. The doctor sending me to infectious disease is female and the new primary I was referred to when another one left.
I called the office of the Urologist Friday and he told the nurse to have me drink lots of water to keep the clots passing through. It is scary but nothing I can do. It was cauterized-supposedly. Will call again tomorrow since still passing clots and blood. This was supposed to be no big thing and now I trust no one. Why go back and go through another surgery to fix what the doctor screwed up?? He may do even more damage.It is cancer just don't know what kind. I was not passing clots and this much blood prior to biopsy. It must be far worse than they led me to believe.
I'm sorry. I have less and less trust in doctors as time goes on. I have become terrified of them. Trying to once again overcome my fears. It helps to whine. Nothing anyone can do. Just helps to know there is someone out there who cares. See what tomorrow brings. At least I hope so. My temperature is normal. I so abhor being invalidated and know many feel this way too. I am not a doctor. I just know I am feeling very sick. Must be in my head.
