I had my TURBT this morning. Currently in hospital with a catheter. Doc came to see me a couple times. She says it's likely the tumour left roots in the bladder wall & this is treated by either radiotherapy or bladder removal. As I am relatively young she said they are more likely to remove the bladder.
What options are there with removal?
Hi . There are two main types of diversion after RC. Stoma and bag or neobladder which is a bit more complicated. Bit early for you yet. I went the radiotherapy route. When the histology results are back, you will have a better idea going forward. Best wishes.
