After finding a cancerous tumour via cystoscopy on the 30th November and a CT scan 17th December I eventually contacted GP because I’d heard nothing regarding results, the waiting was really getting to me!! She was able to tell me that scan showed nothing else of concern but no more real detail. I then contacted the hospital to chase up when TURBT op was going to happen only to be told that all operations were cancelled due to COVID! Urology department also confirmed this is the case. Gutted!! I have now decided to have it done privately but it still means a wait of about 6 weeks. Hopefully I can keep myself from stressing out too much! If anyone else is experiencing the knock on effects of the pandemic, I feel for you, it’s blooming horrible!! My heart goes out to all those who are suffering from COVID too, what a world we find ourselves in!
I had a phone call this morning to say I could go in for TURBT on February 1st...I feel so much better now even though no ct results yet ...I asked on phone this morning but she said she was only adnistrator I phoned gp yesterday not gone to surgery as of yet ..hope you are OK take care I'll keep in touch
Hi Hou. It takes away a bit of the anxiety when you have a firm date to focus on. I hope all goes well for you. I am booked in for my 6 month flexi on Saturday, just about on schedule. Covid test results back today and all ok. Best wishes.
Well would you believe it - I have also just had a phone call to say I’ve got an NHS appointment (in the private hospital) on the 1st February! So only 11 days to wait and I won’t have to find all that money. Some good news at last. Yipeee xx
Yes mine is in private hospital too .. my husband thinks ct results can't be showing anything bad i am praying this is right We never stop worrying do we ... I am so happy to be going in to have the TURBT the anxiety of waiting is awful xx we will keep in touch keep positive and smiling
Good luck Lingdilong and Hou, hope all goes well on 1st February.
