Hi, I’m new to the group, i had a TURBT a year ago to remove a tumor, I then went back for a check up yesterday and unfortunately they have found several more lesions. So I have to have another TURBT, which the thought of the catheter is filling me with dread as last time I had it in for 5 days and had painful spasms continuously. Has anyone else experienced this and any advise? X
Hi Tashace
I had a TURBT Feb last year and woke up with a catheter and had to stay in overnight
My last camera check showed new tumours, I had a TURBT last week
I had Cistomycin into the bladder during the operation but no catheter
Went home a few hours later
Hope everything goes well
Much love Tina X
Hi, that is reassuring and it was the same sort of time as when I had it. I know it’s all for the greater good, so whatever is needed…
Hope everything continues to go well for you.
