Thank you Amigo - it seemed to take an eternity to get from A to B with many negatives in between - but despite this I'm very thankful and relieved with the overall result. Yes much needed rest now and I predict celebrations are on the cards! x

Update.
Hello my peeps! My apologies for not posting until now.

I attended my appointment yesterday with my elder daughter. We were 25 minutes early but no sooner had we sat down in the glum faced sardines waiting room my name was called and we were shown into a room where we were introduced to my Specialists Registrar.

She confirmed that Timby was successfully removed from the surface of the bladder wall - no deeper and sent for biopsy - and further, that Timby was cancerous but Graded lower than the first bladder tumour that was removed eleven years ago. Phew!

When asked why it took so long to release the results, the Registrar explained that there are a number of different procedures to follow that take 2-3 weeks from histology. Also there is a once a week meet every Friday to discuss biopsy results and as soon as the next slot was available - they slotted in Timbys for discussion - following which an appointment was made for me to see the Registrar yesterday.

However - although I was particularly concerned worried stressed and very anxious about the hospital not releasing Timbys biopsy results - I did understand and accept the reasons why they weren't forthcoming earlier than they were.

I didn't post yesterday because I felt a little depleted somewhat for three reasons
1) I hadn't slept Thursday night
2) A streaming cold had descended upon me yesterday afternoon & I felt yukky
and
3) I believe the whole ongoing wretched experience caught up with me and felt too drained to think clearly

I'm told that I shall be recalled in 3months for a Cystoscopy check to ensure that Timby hasn't left any baby Timbys behind following his eradication in April. So I am to wait three months now to get the all clear.

Last but by no means least - I would like to thank you all for your patience - your good luck messages - your never ending warm well wishes and the kindnesses & thoughtfulness that you have shown me - and your valued support throughout my Timby journey which is all very much appreciated.

What I truly admire about you all is the fact that you do not enjoy good health yourselves - some more poorly than others - yet you took the time & trouble to post words of encouragement and (((hugs))) to me along the way. You're amazing people, you really are. Thank you doesn't quite seem enough.
Please take care and look after yourselves folks.
Love Wirralass xxx

Aw thanks Rob - I appreciate your kind words - yes the whole wretched Timby business did take its toll but hopefully it won't take me too long to return to living without constant worry & anxiety - then back to normal whatever normal is 🙄 x
