Hi, I’m new to the group, i had a TURBT a year ago to remove a tumor, I then went back for a check up yesterday and unfortunately they have found several more lesions. So I have to have another TURBT, which the thought of the catheter is filling me with dread as last time I had it in for 5 days and had painful spasms continuously. Has anyone else experienced this and any advise? X
