I saw my consultant last Thursday. she told me that the dead tissue they had found was In fact a tumour. four TURBT'S IN TEN MONTH'S. six week's of radiotherapy. all a waste of time. I agreed at the outset to have my bladder removed. now they are talking about salvage surgery. the removal of my bladder. If this had been done at the outset…
