1. How many people had turbts discharge same day ? 

2. Did anyone manage to have epidural? 

3. Did anyone have similar to 1 lesion that was is 1-2 cm non invasive  what did the grade turn out to be & prognosis ?  

I’d appreciate anyone’s input 

thank you 

  • Most people on the morning list are out the same day. People on afternoon lists tend to be kept overnight, but it all depends on what they find when they go in. I was in for four days, but mine was well advanced. We don't see epidurals here often. Usually used when the patient cannot have GA for some reason. Nearly all the grades we see on here are grade 3. We see grade 2 now and then and very rarely grade 1, but again, all depends on individual circumstances. Everything depends on the biopsy results, but nearly all cases will need some sort of follow up treatment. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.

  • My husband has had 2 TURBT’s one was 7am at hospital and one was at 11am, on both occasions he was discharged the same day with not an awful lot of time difference, this was at N&N hospital.

  • I’ve had three, first one left hospital after 4 days, second left next day, third, home for tea . It seems to depend on the extent of the size of the resections.

  • That is good to hear ! My mums in at 7am but I doubted she’d be seen on time ! They claim she will be discharge sane day if all well ! Yet I fear they take hours to do discharge letters. ! It’s a Friday ! I fear if I need to get hold of anyone not many surgeons consultants on duty! I fear they’ll say go A and E & I fear the responsibility of caring for my mum ! I know how to take bp / Oxypulse Etc and I’m trained in med emergency but I have no clue what I’m looking  for or how to handle this post op ! 
    I will need google nhs pt info leaflet post op as I’m not going in the hospital! Which is crucifying me as I desperately want to be there and severe trauma terror of covid ! Not sure if I mentioned last night not re read ! Sending well wishes to your husband Pray tone3 

  • Many Thanks for replying ! 
    I do hope you are well & have everything clear now Pray tone3

    They say it’s 1-2 cm non invasive does that tell me anything ? 

    how did you manage when you went home same day 

  • It tells you not to worry, your Mum will manage well when she is home . Best wishes, J.

  • Although I’ve just been told the person nurse who told her it non invasive couldn’t be 100 percent sure although thought it non invasive! Apparently that was what the  ct scan was for to check ! Apparently they’re going to tell her results of ct scan at 7am just before op ! Not happy at all it’s cruel on my mum dropping diagnosis on her just before op when she’s on own and cruel on family not knowing what’s going on !! I need a nurse to be able to contact a few times as I’ll be out my mind I have a severe anxiety disorder ! I remember when my trauma got worse in March 20 when my dad had his life saved and there was a nurse who I rang and she put her head in theatre and told me everything going ok and I spoke to her a few times I think ! I literally cannot sit back here and wait in the dark like most people can manage ! Don’t know what to do ! My mother old school will tell me no your not mithering nurses ! Do they have any duty of care to support the family not sure if it’s in their scope of practice 

  • Yes my mum is sick of GA and has ( they’re not faints ) As I’ve written 

    some place I’ve delt with 100s of faints and it’s definitely not anything I’ve seen before ! 

    I want them to avoid it all all cost ! I mean my mum had full bowel camera awake no sedation !! 

    I had lower small bowel awake no sedation but it was horrific 

    yet my mum managed whole small large bowel camera watching on the screen !! 

    I know you might say well that’s not a painful experience but I know of no pt to undergo that fully awake !!

    unless they need the pt totally immobile then I don’t see why local anaesthetic can’t be used , 

    if you don’t mind me asking 

    when you say all the cases you see here are mainly grade 3 

    where are you talking from ? The forum or are you practicing in a hospital ? 

    Quite shocked to hear stage 1 very rare ! 
    also stage 2 very occasional and 3 being the main one. ! Shocked that nearly all cases need follow up too ! 

    do you think that accurate or do you think perhaps stage 1/2 don’t even join a forum as it is done and over ? 

    THANKS 

  • Hold on a minute are you saying nearly all cases on this forum are 

    Stage 3. Around 40 out of 100 people (around 40%) survive their cancer for 5 years or more after they are diagnosed. Stage 3 means that the cancer has grown through the muscle into the fat layer. It may have spread outside the bladder to the prostate, womb or vagina.

    That is incredibly negative are you sure you’ve got that right !!!? 

    non invasive all mainly all stage 3 ??
