Thanks for the reminder--it's time for another appointment with the urologist. The comments remind me of my friend Lasse who was out moose hunting one day many years ago, and had to take a dump. He saw blood in the pile, and went straightway to the local health center (as most of us would do here in Finland). They told him to take it easy and come back in so many weeks.
Lasse isn't that kind of a guy. He threatened them with everything at his disposal and stated that he wasn't leaving until they had examined his colon. The cancer was thus caught and treated on time, and Lasse is still with us. A multi-week postponement might well have been too much.
Don't take no for an answer if you're dealing with socialised medicine. Or, rather, go private.
