My dad has bladder cancer he has had 2 TURBT ops with a catheter fitted after the first op. He had a hospital appointment to remove the catheter today and it was unsuccessful due to his bladder not full emptying naturally he was truly upset. They have asked him to do a repeat removal next week hopefully this will be successful but if not what would be the next step. Any advice or lived experience would be truly appreciated
