Goodmorning can anyone advise please … my husband finished treatment for bladder cancer early November… he had. Chemo/ radiotherapy… we were told he would be called back for a scan ect to see if the treatments have worked !!  I’m sure they said about 6 weeks from end of treatment but nearly 16 weeks and we haven’t heard anything.. did we miss hear !! If anyone can advise if you’ve been in a similar situation I would appreciate. Kind regards sandra

  • Hi Sandra. I waited about 10 weeks after my RT finished for follow up checks. I would give urology a ring to chase up or his CNS if he has one. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.

  • Hi

    I seem to remember it being about six weeks when I was seen, it was post op after an RC.

    It doesn't matter where you go, there you are
  • Thankyou   We will have to contact them as they definitely said he needs a follow up …

  • If you have a Macmillan support nurse I would contact her. I have always had a quick response through that pathway. My husband hadn't had a cystoscopy for a year. When I queried that I got a slight telling off for not contacting them sooner! He had his cystoscopy today, all clear, will have the next in 6 months time. He also went the chemo/radiation route. Hope that helps. 

  • Hi firstly glad your husband had the all clear .. yes I have said to my husband he will have to contact the hospital.. it’s a worry you just need to know all is ok .. Thankyou for message
