Sorry, another question.
Husband is having a small tumour removed by diathermy - is this done under general anaesthetic usually? (I think this has been implied), how does it compare to say a biopsy in terms of recovery time? He had an infection and urinary retention at last biopsy so just trying to rank it against that and TURBT. I guess I just also wonder generally if this means he is likely to be prone to recurrence - it's the first in two years which I didn't think was bad but he is quite despondent.
Thanks to all.
