I'll let you talk TURBS with Ray hon xxx

Well the surgeon initially said two tumours and given how they looked he  would be very surprised if muscle wall not involved. 

Actually ... the tumours must have been attached to the wall?

Last week told stage1 

Thanks for your info

Cheers

Nooo! I must tell you... Never let it be said Stressy is not creative. He was trying to explain to Scooterless the letter saying he had been inappropriately refered to bariatric surgery.

Bariatric          'What?'

Bariatric           'What?'

Barry, you know the NAME Barry ...

'Oh yes ..'

And three goals in football 

'hat trick?'

Yes! Barry hat trick!

Cheers

You ought to see my attempts to use the hospital car park payment machine. I do not own a smart phone, so I have to use the large touch screen to manually enter my blue badge details. I have a slight hand tremor and the touch screen does not respond consistently for all letters or numbers. Some require the lightest tap, others need a firm half second push to get a response. It takes ages of backspacing (a different bit to press) to eradicate duplicate or triplicate letters/numbers caused by the combination of my shakes and the inconsistent screen. If there's a queue developing behind me the mistakes become more frequent. It's more daunting than the medical procedure I'm there for. Often I give up and pay using contactless instead of labouring for the freeby.  xxx

I feel your pain. I also am hugely opposed to the march towards digital only and digital everything as it is excluding so many. People who need access and connections the most.

Instead of enabling it is disabling and penalising, not least financially!

Ok stepping down from soap box!

Cheers

Well the site is multitasking... playing hide and seek whilst doing the hokey kokey!

I've had to log out, in again and got directed to the very first post by Irishgirl.  WTA...?

I'm on the verge of giving up tonight as it hasn't let me post till this one. Aaaaaiiiieeee

Tumours are all attached to the muscle wall but some actually grow through, perforating the wall. This is why they are described as non-muscle invasive or muscle invasive, the bladder wall being largely a muscle. Position of the tumour(s) within the bladder is also of great importance, as is the analysis by the path lab of material scraped or biopsied during a TURBT to reveal the degree of muscle invasion and the type of cell if malignant - the latter enables a judgement to be made regarding aggressiveness. So, the words you'd be less pleased to hear are 'muscle invasive' and 'aggressive.'  Still usually treatable but the medics have to work a lot harder at it. The Macmillan booklet on bladder cancer gives an undramatic description of all major aspects of bladder cancer and its treatment options without leaving you stranded with heaps of medical terms requiring a further 30 minutes searching the net. MM Booklet Recommended. It may even be available as digital download these days.  xxx 

Good night Ray and Shimmer. It's driving me insane with frustration, so hopefully you two will conquer the site
