Hi Ginger
I somehow missed your post from May 23rd until today. Anyway, I will be following this cytology question with my surgeon as you suggested. But I won’t be seeing him until October.
I no longer have a urethra (I don’t think, haha) but of course the ureters are connected to my ileal conduit.
I do have a lot of trust in my young surgeon/urologist, so I’m assuming there is some good reason that urine cytology hasn’t happened with me. But I still want to hear exactly why not.
Thanks for your response, and I’ll post any further information I get on this topic – but it may be months from now.
I am seeing my family doctor in a couple of weeks, but don’t expect him to know much about this. Maybe he can do the asking for me, though.
