It is now 2 days since I had the operation to remove my bladder tumour. Passing urine is difficult but becoming easier and not too painful and I seem to be going to the loo more frequently than before, but that all seems to be normal. Both nights so far I have had to get up three times in the night to pee. I had a sore throat which comes apparently from them putting a tube down the throat during the operation to help breathing. Anyway the sore throat has now gone away. I have been following advice and drinking a couple of litres of water each day. Also steering clear of alcohol and reducing my intake of tea and coffee. I have been walking each day - a couple of miles yesterday in two separate walks and more like four miles today.
I have been called for an ultrasound scan of my bladder next week and I am trying to find out why. This was not what I had been led to believe would be the next step. Does anyone else know why an ultrasound scan might be appropriate at this point? I had been expecting that the next step would be to learn the result of tests on the tumour tissue removed and that would be in a couple of weeks.
